Welcome to the reading list of Design Stories, Finnish Design Shop’s online magazine. For this weekend, we have picked five stories that whisk you off to a pink country house in Denmark, list the best Black Friday finds for design lovers, take you to Antti and Vuokko Nurmesniemi’s timeless studio home, visit Iittala’s glass factory, and present delightful gifts for a smaller budget.

When the hustle and bustle of everyday life gets a bit much, Mikkel Hansen and Stephanie Gundelach retreat to their lovely home in Tisvildeleje. The soulful house and the serene atmosphere of the coastal village offer a refuge where the whole family can kick back and unwind.

The editorial team of Design Stories hand-picked the most wanted pieces from a selection of over 200,000 stock products. Discover sale tips on HAY, Marimekko and MENU products, among others, and make evergreen Black Friday design purchases!

People have been admiring the timeless quality of Vuokko and Antti Nurmesniemi’s home for close to fifty years. The atelier home, located on the seashore but hidden from view, encapsulates the couple’s lifestyle devoted to design and friends.

Established in the 19th century, the Iittala glass factory is the largest in the Nordics and the only one left in Finland. Design Stories got to take a tour of the glassworks to see how Aalto vases, Leimu lamps, and Ultima Thule glasses are made. Come along!

Well made, elegant, yet affordable – Finnish Design Shop’s selection includes also budget-friendly options for gifts and stocking fillers. Find affordable surprises for a friend, colleague, or relative!
