Furnish a Scandinavian Home with Kalon Studios
It doesn’t matter where your home is located or how it was built; you can still create a Scandinavian environment. Ensuring the longevity of the Scandinavian design principles and ethos, brands like Kalon Studios continue to produce exquisite Scandinavian furnishings for modern homes. Pulling centuries, sometimes millennia, of design tradition into the 21st Century, Kalon understands the importance of materials and hygge aesthetics, but takes it all a step further. Which is one of the many reasons we would love to help you furnish a Scandinavian home with Kalon Studios.
Who is Kalon Studios?
Founded by Michaele Simmering and Johannes Pauwen, Kalon Studios has been the benchmark for eco-responsibility and Scandinavian for nearly two decades. At their America-based studio, a team of dedicated craftsmen and designers master the integration of sustainable production and lasting, Nordic beauty. This is seen in every versatile piece of furniture and décor, from their lounge chairs to their cribs.
We expect the best from self-proclaimed obsessives who value that integrity and tradition that has always defined Scandinavian homes and living. And they deliver. Simplistic, flowing lines allow the wood and metal elements to speak for themselves, contributing to home, office, and commercial environments that prioritize relaxation and openness while still fitting into a variety of spaces.
Kalon’s Sustainable Design
But it’s Kalon’s belief that each handcrafted piece of furniture should inspire positive change that make us love this brand even more. It runs deep in the brand’s approach to all things Scandinavian and informs their intuitive designs and celebration of material. They want to inform the world around them while complementing and reverencing the world around them.
This integration of nature and organic form and function naturally lead to responsible production, manufacturing, and shipping practices. By sourcing wood from local forests and using non-toxic finishes, Kalon Studios achieves their sustainability dreams. They boast more than half a dozen eco-certifications—including the highly sought and hard-won GOTS Certification—which means their desire and hard work is backed by real recognition.
At the end of the day, Kalon is a materials-focused practice. They are what drive the designs and it’s the respect for the materials that inspire the team to make pieces with lasting functionality.

Finally, we come to the pieces themselves. Kalon has brought truly beautiful Scandinavian furniture into the world, and we know you will love how effortless they make furnishing a home with Scandinavian aesthetics.
Rugosa Bookshelf
We’re starting strong with the Rugosa Bookshelf. This shelf is so simple and honest in its presence that’s almost hard to resist putting one in every room. Ten large shelves and a double bookcase construction mean this piece is big, but thanks to its light Ash wood, there’s a near weightlessness to it that doesn’t overwhelm the space. We love this bookshelf in living rooms as well as in offices.
Simple Dresser - White Oak
One of the most balanced compositions, the Simple Dresser has brass accents that create subtle material contrast and depth, as well as soft-close drawer slides that ensure the entire piece, from top to bottom, has a smooth, quiet presence. This eight-drawer dresser brings natural warmth and rich tactility to bedrooms with unobtrusive beauty that prioritizes modern storage solutions and aesthetic refinement.
No. 6 Sectional
Blending architectural sophistication with bespoke craftsmanship, the No. 6 Sectional is easily a quintessential example of Scandinavian sofa design. It’s clean, commanding silhouette has Mid-Century inspirations, gorgeous clean lines, and a warmth that can only be created by pairing walnut with deep cushions. Comfortable and large enough to fit a crowd, the No. 6 Sectional is perfect for open-concept living rooms, loft apartments, and lobbies.
Element Side Table
The Element Side Table embraces a modular lifestyle and really showcases that concept. Perfect for modern homes where materials can freely blend together, the Element is crafted from Douglas Fir wood and bent Aluminum to create a weightless and timeless floating wall shelf. Meant to be a bedside table, the Element Side Table also works well in reading nooks and offices, but mostly we love it paired with the Element Bed frame.
Bough Bar Stool
The Bough Bar Stool is the breath of fresh air we love for every home. Featuring complex concealed joints of surprising strength, with slender legs designed to let light pass through, and a comfortable crossbar that provides the perfect perch for feet, this stool elevates every room it enters. Clean, architectural, and versatile, the Bough Bar Stool effortlessly slips in at the dining table, provides extra seating in the living room, or acts as the perfect place to stack some extra towels in the powder room.
Cube + Void Case Bench
Part of their Cube series, the Cube + Void Case Bench is a fantastic way to set the Scandinavian tone in your entryway. Or, use this bench in your bedroom at the foot of the bed to store shoes and clothes. However you use it, we know you’ll enjoy the openness and flexibility of this piece. With an open back, this bench becomes light and airy, and with three sizes, there’s an option for every room.
Trunk Bench
How could we make this list without including the iconic Trunk Bench? It would be impossible to praise Kalon for their celebration of materials without mentioning this solid block of wood that becomes the perfect cozy bench. Carefully carved with soft edges and subtle feet, Trunk becomes the cornerstone piece in the room, setting the tone and acting as the representative of nature in both modern and Scandinavian spaces.
