Welcome to the December reading list of Design Stories, Finnish Design Shop’s online magazine. Why not take a relaxing moment this festive season and enjoy good reads while sipping a delicious cup of hot cocoa or glögg, a Nordic holiday favourite?

We invite you to feast your eyes on the lovely home of Creative Director Anna Teurnell, pick your favourite from three tasty breakfast recipes, peek inside the modern Villa Radal, marvel at Paavo Tynell’s iconic lighting designs, and take our reader survey for a chance to win a Finnish Design Shop gift card. 

Home, work and enjoyable daily life combine in Anna Teurnell’s beautiful and inspiring Stockholm apartment. The home has been updated gently, allowing patina to show in places. Take a tour with Design Stories!

Whether you’re a fan of savory, sweet or traditional breakfasts, you’re sure to find a favorite among these tasty festive-season recipes: easy hash-brown pancake, French toast made of croissants and rice porridge cooked in almond milk and served with a zesty, festive fruit soup.

Imagine a house that is almost completely gray – from floor to ceiling, inside and out. Do you envision it being dull? Perhaps soothing? Whatever you had in mind, you probably weren't prepared for this. Discover Villa Radal, a sculptural tour de force in Sweden by Olsson Lyckefors architects.

“There are still some locations in Finland where you can marvel at what is left of Tynell’s original lighting,” says Ville Linna, who recently published a book about renowned Finnish lighting designer Paavo Tynell. Explore with us Hotel Pallas, Leppiniemi Guesthouse and Hotel Merihovi where you can enjoy Tynell’s lighting designs in their original settings.

We’d love to hear feedback on Design Stories’ topics and content. It only takes a moment to answer, and if you're lucky, you might win a 100 € gift card to Finnish Design Shop. The survey is open until Sunday, 8 January (EET), and the winners will be drawn on Monday, 9 January 2023.
