The Maker

At Skeppshult, they have made their products by hand since 1906 according to ancient methods and traditions. They are the only remaining foundry in Scandinavia that produces cookware in cast iron.

Cast Iron Egg Frying Pan

If you take a closer look at the functions and roles of "things" that are useful to people, there are natural shapes that emerge. They have a universal shape that harmonizes with any space: timeless. neutral, lean, and familiar as if it's been around for a long time.
Many of the things that have been shared by people for generations and have been used for granted have that form. The tableware called "Common" was created with that aim. As a tool for everyday life, suitable for many people to use in various places for years and decades.

Since its launch in 2014, it has been sold not only for home use but also for business use such as restaurants and cafes. It's tableware that's easy to use and never compromises on quality and price.
The designers of "Common" spent a great deal of time and effort to create their shapes and meticulously examined them. All "Common" items are made by the hands of skilled people in a reliable Japanese factory.

La Fonda Sun Cocktail Napkins, Yellow/pink

Clean Lines. Multi-Functional. Material and Texture. Made in Japan.

We love this multipurpose Creamer because it's just as perfect as a sauce, jam or honey boat as it is a creamer jug. Pair it with a porcelain or wood petite-sized lid/coaster in a matching diameter for a lid or coaster.
Hasami Porcelain is a modular, multi-functional dinnerware and serving system. Plates are also lids and trays. A milk creamer jug is also a sauce pitcher. A small lid fits the sugar pot that can also be a salt cellar or an amuse-bouche plate.

Hasami, Nagasaki is one of the foremost pottery districts in Japan. Porcelain was first made in the area almost 400 years ago, during the Edo Period, and was not only distributed all over Japan but also exported to Europe through the port of Nagasaki.

A Placewares Guest Favorite

A perfect little wastebasket in beautifully painted metal shades.
It is happy at home or work office, bedroom or bath.
Winner of a 2015 Good Design award . Bunbuko has been made in Japan since 1918.

The Bunbuko wastebasket has been in production unchanged for 60-plus years.  The wastebaskets are made of steel. "Taper Bucket's" smart design - worthy of a Good Design award - is corrosion-resistant and durable because each part has been assembled by fastening instead of welding. The Taper Bucket also has a characteristic rib in its steel form. The rib increases the strength of the can's steel body. And, the rib also helps you to easily move it, or stack them if you like.

Shop our Bunbuku collection for a range of Bunbuku's high-quality products.
For safe use, the seam of the steel plate is covered. A plastic bottom cover helps protect your floor.

Inspiring & Inviting

Designed in 1936

Viggo Boesen popularized the funkis Swedish functionalism style that was key to the "Danish Golden Age" of design in the 1930s and 40s. Designed in 1936, the Teddy Chair inspires awe and invites repose.
Our Icons collection revitalizes iconic pieces of furniture from some of Europe's most important architects and designers.
Viggo Boesen

Viggo Boesen is considered by many to be a key driver in the design aesthetic of the 30s and 40s. In order to understand the design style of this period, one must know Boesen and the funkis style he popularized. Boesen’s pieces are both delightful and durable — smooth, yet, solid. The Fox lounge chair, one of Boesen’s most iconic and famous designs, has been heralded as the quintessential funkis design, winning a prestigious design competition in 1936. His unique modernist design aesthetic coupled with the hard-wearing qualities of natural rattan made him unique and imaginative like no other designer of the “golden age”.
