The North Sea

I am driven by the thought of what a table setting can do to people. How it connects us to one another and creates a joyful atmosphere.

Exhibited at Strandvägen 5 05.05.2022 – 20.06.2022

In this colourful collaboration, Danish goldsmith and jewellery designer Charlotte Lynggaard has created ‘The North Sea’ – a unique collection of dining textiles and accessories, expressing her passion for setting tables.

I have always adored fish motifs. I feel that fish awake a sense of dreams and wonder. My designs are partly interpretations of the fish that live in the sea in front of our house in Oresund, a place located between Denmark and Sweden.

I have been a jewellery designer for 35 years, but I have always had a love for textiles: napkins, tablecloths… and for table settings. I collect tableware and enjoy mixing and matching different colours and prints.

The North Sea exhibition on Strandvägen 5 in Stockholm, combines Charlotte Lynggaard's new collection with hand-painted ceramic plates from Tunis and Sicily, Mediterranean-inspired glasses and cocktail sticks adorned with delicate shells.

The collaboration with Svenskt Tenn felt natural to Charlotte, who has been a frequent visitor of the store on Strandvägen 5 in Stockholm throughout the years.

“Svensk Tenn has always attracted my attention both as a company and as a brand. It is a design house with a fantastic story, where the soul has been kept and preserved and where classic design goes hand in hand with the finest craftsmanship. I very much hope that this collection will be a lasting contribution to Svensk Tenn’s magical world of design.”
