L
otte Fynboe is the founder of family lifestyle brand OYOY Living Design. She launched the business straight out of design school in 2012 and some of her very first pieces are still part of the collection. Playfulness meets simplicity and functionality in her design aesthetic and much of Lotte’s inspiration comes from her childhood memories. Here, the mama-of-two invites us to take a tour of her magical holiday home on the Danish West Coast... Q How did you come to buy your holiday house and what drew you to it? A I have a passion for the raw brutalism architecture from the ‘50s and up to the early ‘70s where functionality is in
focus, the light fantastic and everything unnecessary is gone. The first time I saw the holiday house I was sure it was perfect. I just love the way the house is divided in two with a yard between the two sections. The perfect place for outdoor living with a location close to the sea and with surroundings of the most beautiful nature. Q What was it like when you bought it and did you do any renovation work? A The holiday house has not undergone a major transformation but we have added our own furniture and interior and painted a bit to make it appear as original as possible. As the house is not that big, we are planning a major renovation in the same architecture as the original, which will be completed spring 2021.
