Sweet Stories from Dottir Nordic Design brings that feeling into the home. With expressive animal figures, porcelain candlesticks and fine details, the collection creates small stories about our connection with nature. Here, the animals find a place in our everyday lives – on the beautifully set table, on the windowsill, or on a shelf among the things we love.
In Sweet Stories, you meet animals each with their own personality. Their postures and expressions invite us to look a little closer and let our imagination explore. Perhaps you recognise something from a walk in the forest. Perhaps a figure reminds you of a story from your childhood, or of someone you love. The collection unites the shapes of nature with Dottir's playful take on Nordic design. The porcelain's fine details and carefully tuned colours give the animals a poetic expression that holds both humour, warmth and calm. These are small design objects that can stand alone and tell their own story, or become part of a personal still life alongside other favourites in the home.
A lit candle does something to the mood. When the light is joined by a small porcelain animal, a special closeness arises – a quiet meeting between the world of nature and life around the table. The Sweet Stories candlesticks give your table setting personality, whether you're hosting guests for dinner or making a little extra of an ordinary evening. Let a single figure be the table's small eye-catcher, or gather several together and create your own story among the plates, glasses and flowers.
Combine the porcelain with simple branches, fresh flowers or finds from a walk. Spring's tender green leaves, summer's flowers and autumn's nuts each give a different expression and let the seasons move in with you. Sweet Stories is created with the same care for shape, colour and craftsmanship that characterises Dottir. Human hands are a crucial part of the process, and the work with the porcelain leaves room for the fine details that make each animal lifelike and recognisable.
The small variations that occur during production are part of the handmade expression. They give each design its own character and bear witness to the material and the hands behind it. This is porcelain that invites you to look closely – and to find a permanent place in the home.
Sweet Stories belongs to both the quiet moments of everyday life and the days we celebrate. A rabbit can become a recurring guest at the Easter table, while a squirrel or a fox can create a cosy connection to the life of the forest through the rest of the year's seasons. When the same figures find their way to the table again and again, new memories attach themselves to them. They become part of the home's traditions and the family's shared stories.
A candlestick from Sweet Stories also makes a personal gift for someone who loves animals, nature and Danish design. A birthday present, a hostess gift, or a small token that can come to mean far more than the day it was given.
Explore Sweet Stories, and find the small personalities that speak to you. Create your own story of connection with nature.
