A new way of thinking about furniture, from the international bestselling author of The Interior Design Handbook
Award-winning blogger Frida Ramstedt shares insights and advice on how to make sure the furniture you buy doesn’t just look good but is also well-made, long-lasting and, most importantly, comfortable to use every day. Inspired by her rich Scandinavian furniture design heritage and filled with insider tips, The Furnishing Handbook is an indispensable guide to finding the pieces that work best for your body and home.
The partners of the Nordic Literary Salon online are the Czech Translators of the North – an association that brings together translators of fiction from Northern languages to Czech. The event is part of the Scandinavian House’s year-long project Nordic Literature in the Heart of Europe 2024 which is supported by the City of Prague and the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
