Annual Scandinavia Standard Gift Guide 2014: Design

It’s almost that time of year: we’ll leave our offices and maybe even our smartphones or tablets for a few days to enjoy time with family, eat delicious food and, most likely, give a few presents to the ones we love. Whether or not you celebrate Christmas, it’s wonderful to be able to make those we care about happy by treating them to something, big or small, that they want in their lives but are perhaps too modest or selfless to get for themselves. That’s really the spirit of gift-giving and, luckily for us here in Scandinavia, there’s a beautiful or useful item for everyone on your list.

Today we begin our series of Scandinavian Gift Guides, starting with: DESIGN. Here are our recommendations (and what we’ll be asking for ourselves!):
