Outdoor Chic

Outdoor Chic flings open the gates to hidden havens, courtyards designed with ultimate comfort in mind, and spectacular views. This book reveals the beauty of gardens and terraces crafted with a Nordic sense of style.

Outdoor Chic embarks on a voyage from pristine Arctic landscapes to the southern Finnish patchworks of fields, the idyllic Swedish small towns, and the gardens and rooftops of Nueva Andalucía. Readers are whisked to vistas where the night sky glimmers in emerald tones and the heady scent of jasmine lingers in the gentle morning air. The delightful journey begins under the endless sunshine of Costa del Sol, then travels to the summer paradise of Hildegunn and Samuel Taipale in the embrace of Norwegian fjords, to the soulscape of Samu Haber in the Finnish archipelago, and onward to the endless ski trails of Lapland’s fells, before returning to a luxury villa along Marbella’s Golden Mile.

This elegant tour blends architectural restraint with the warmth of nature, inviting readers to imagine serene outdoor rooms, sunlit terraces, and intimate courtyards that harmonize with landscapes from sea to snow. Each location celebrates light, season, and the simple joy of outdoor living, offering inspiration for gardens, balconies, and sanctuaries that feel both timeless and of the moment.
