The duo behind Salty Interiors, Ellinor Belvén and Annetta Kristjánsdóttir grew up in respectively Sweden and Iceland but met in Berlin where they found each other over a shared love of Scandinavian designs and a good laugh. They recently founded their stylist consultancy, bringing the Nordic atmosphere and design to Germany.
BERLIN, GERMANY
For a decade, Berlin has been a pulsating metropole, attracting both the aspiring and established designers and artists, – not least the ones from the Nordic countries, who fall in love with the raw beauty of the city, the apartments with high ceilings, and the buzzing atmosphere of the big city. As we enter the newly renovated apartment on the fourth floor, it’s not difficult to understand why this apartment was chosen over the one they had before on the ground floor. The winter sun of Berlin lends a helping hand, but the apartment overlooking a small green square has an inflow of light which is unbelievable. Everywhere we look, the light makes the sculptural designs, vases with flowers, and water glasses on the dinner table cast shadows, creating a dramatic and stunning dynamic in the living room. The table is set, just as we know it from home: The best talks happen over coffee and cake, the traditional Swedish ”fika”.
