Living with Bergs

Elin Lannsjö: The Home Where Dahlia Grows

Posted 2 years ago

On the Swedish west coast, we find the EMILIA pot in the cottage home of Swedish ceramic designer and Elle Decoration blogger Elin Lannsjö. Elin goes all-in on green living in every conceivable way – and has a newfound passion for growing Dahlias.

Elin’s cottage is a place for growing, and she has recently started cultivating dahlias in large flower pots at her small garden plot. She loves the flower for being both gracious and generous, providing her garden from summer to fall with a spectacular display of colours in cream, yellow, orange, pink, red and purple shades.

‘Greenery in a home softens the energy and brings life to the room’

– Elin Lannsjö

For Elin Lannsjö, greenery in a home is a fantastic way to soften the energy and bring life to the room, and EMILIA’s aesthetic beauty and grace contribute to the harmonious ambience of the cottage.

When Elin moved out of her childhood home, her mother helped her decorate her first flat. Her mother bought her flowers and pots from Bergs Potter for a housewarming gift. Since then, the passion for greenery and collecting Bergs designs has been growing.

I have always been seduced by the gorgeous design of Bergs Pottery. The clay and the colour of the glazings are impeccable in my eyes.

According to Elin, Emilia is a piece of jewellery for every plant. Emilia’s design is a fusion of past and classic contemporary styles with the ancient Roman-inspired twisted rope rim. It fits perfectly into Elin’s philosophy of decorating her home with natural elements, flowers, and plants to make it cosy and comfortable.
