Nordic design has been at the core of SUITE NY since the beginning. Rooted in simplicity, functionality, and a deep respect for materials, it embodies a design philosophy that values both craftsmanship and everyday usability. From Finland to Denmark, the Nordic brands in our collection reflect this ethos, blending traditional techniques with modern sensibilities. This week, we highlight five brands whose work continues to shape the world of contemporary design.

A modern take on classic craftsmanship, the new Wooden Chair from A. Petersen is designed by Dan Svarth for longevity and comfort.

Made from solid and veneered Oregon pine.

With a focus on natural materials and expert woodworking, the Edi Dining Table by Nikari reflects the Finnish brand’s dedication to simplicity and longevity. Crafted from solid wood with a refined, sculptural form, it is designed to age gracefully while offering a warm and welcoming presence in any dining space.

Designed with bold angles and a robust silhouette, the Maasto Dining Chair exemplifies Vaarnii’s brutal and sophisticated approach to creating furniture from Finland’s native pine. Built for both durability and comfort, the chair’s distinct grain patterns and raw materiality make it a striking yet functional addition to contemporary interiors. Available with or without arms.
