justscandlogo.jpg We were drawn to this airy and light-filled shop in Tribeca by a chance encounter with their website. Featuring both furniture and accessories from Scandinavian countries, the store displays all of its merchandise with careful attention to detail...

 
 

Most notable is the commanding presence of Josef Frank fabrics and textiles licensed by Svenskt Tenn. Upholstery, pillows, wallpaper and laminate trays all feature his bold patterns and colors. (Anthropologie has been known to embrace these colorful textiles.)

Our favorite items included the laminate trays and tray tables (especially in Manhattan textile), a classic drop-leaf table, dishtowels, the Marimekko goblets (shown above), and the massive sofa covered in a Josef Frank pattern ($18,500!).

The store also features the work of:

• iittala
• Royal Copenhagen
• Pappelina
• Asplund
• Carl Hansen
• Erik Joergensen

Truly a lovely store.

Definitively a change from your typical Scandinavian/Nordic store, in that the emphasis is on Swedish goods that don't get much exposure in North America.
