Veermakers, a Scandinavian interiors brand, has opened its first permanent showroom in Paris' trendy Marais district. This move marks a significant step for the brand, which has been making waves since its founding in 2017 by Louise Liljencrantz, K.F.K. Cabinet Makers, and interior designer Kristin Rudenstam. Veermakers is renowned for its made-to-order furniture, lighting, and objects that embody timelessness and authenticity, all crafted from exceptional materials by master cabinetmakers and skilled artisans in Stockholm and Fiskars, Finland.
The new showroom is a unique space that blends furniture, architecture, and art, creating an immersive experience. It's designed to feel like a hybrid between a gallery and a private residence, with a calm backdrop that allows the pieces to shine without competing for attention. Liljencrantz's vision was to create a space that feels lived in, surrounded by art, books, and everyday life, emphasizing the personal rather than the staged.
This approach aligns with the Marais' unique blend of history and creativity, with galleries, ateliers, and independent fashion houses alongside centuries-old architecture. The showroom showcases signature Veermakers designs, including the SSU coffee table, MAR dining table, SKS side table, and Strict bar stool, as well as new pieces like the Yoshino wall lamp, Hoovs side table, and Set upholstered dining chair.
Recent additions include the Reed library table and Pin console, along with lighting and objects that complete the Veermakers universe. A bespoke kitchen and built-in sofa enhance the lived-in feel, while an exhibition of oil-on-canvas interpretations of the Swedish archipelago by artist LG Lundberg adds a layer of intimacy. Lundberg's works, rich in color and atmosphere, bring a distinctly Scandinavian presence to the Parisian space, symbolizing the fusion of two design traditions.
Liljencrantz's inspiration for the showroom comes from Paris' deep appreciation for craftsmanship, culture, and timeless design, which aligns perfectly with Veermakers' values. The opening of this showroom is not just an expansion strategy but a natural step in the brand's journey, offering a unique experience that combines Scandinavian clarity with French warmth and elegance.
