A typical cottage by the water in the outskirts of Stockholm. A tiny nest nearly floating away from the woods. A place to escape town life, to relax, unplug and reconnect to nature
In my project for the interior of this cottage I have designed and built all the furniture with the intention of using as little space as possible and always keeping in contact with the outside.
Every piece of furniture is meant to serve specific functions and to suit its specific place.

On the ground floor at the entrance, there is a corner shelf for hanging coats, place hats, gloves and shoe storage. In front of the large windows, a sofa and an armchair to relax and look outside, with shelves and cabinets that do not hide the view. The dining table (vitruvio) can easily glide into the sideboard, or come out to give more place for a dinner with friends. The side board by the table has a cabinet for storage, and a special place for flower pots, herbs or bottles.

On the second floor, there is a wardrobe and a low cabinet fitted under the sloping roof. The beds headboard has shelves and drawers on both sides. The desk i wall mounted infront of the window, facing the view towards the trees and water. The curtains are hidden in two small boxes on each side of the room ready to fly out and “close” the bedroom.

The materials are all local woods: birch and oak. The colors, beside the natural colors of wood, are given by water based paint: greens and blues from the trees, the water and the sky
