SCENTS OF SUMMER

Bright days, warm winds, a sun-warmed dock and swimming in cold water. We went to the house by the sea to capture the essence of summer.

In the Scents of Summer film, we asked photographer Ola Rindal to capture every detail of the summer season: the sounds, the smells and the proximity to nature.

Objects from the sea

Svenskt Tenn’s founder Estrid Ericson was a collector, inspired by her many travels. She appreciated objects from the sea such as corals, shells and stones, and these inspired many of the decorations and furnishings in Svenskt Tenn’s range.

On Display

Statement Pieces

In the living room by the sea, we welcome nature into classic display cabinets, where stones and shells are combined with statement pieces and pewter objects from Svenskt Tenn’s range.
