Søstrene Grene ; Scandinavian Design

A Bit of History

The adventure began in 1973 in Denmark. Inger and Knud Grene opened their first shop in the city of Aarhus. The brand’s name means “the Grene sisters”, after two imaginary sisters, Anna and Clara. The concept is Scandinavian, aesthetic and affordable. The brand sells tableware, wool, craft supplies, groceries, stationery and cosmetics. The range changes throughout the year, with the seasons and collections. The brand is present in many European countries, including Switzerland.

The Magic of Christmas

Søstrene Grene in Lausanne

Every year end, the same ritual repeats itself around Christmas presents. Once the gifts are bought, you need to take time to wrap them. The ribbon matches the wrapping paper, then a card or tag completes the whole. This task can be left to shop staff. Yet homemade wrapping brings an incomparable personal touch. The following examples were made with materials bought at the Lausanne shop.

A Danish Family Story

Søstrene Grene means “the Grene sisters” in Danish. The brand was born in 1973 in Aarhus, Denmark, founded by Inger and Knud Grene. The shops bear the names of their daughters, Anna and Clara, who became the faces of the brand. The concept combines low prices, Scandinavian design and a warm atmosphere. The shops are explored like a maze, to the sound of classical music. The brand now has shops in many European countries.

Søstrene Grene ; Wrapping, Tags and Ribbons

For simplicity’s sake, all the materials come from the same shop. Its many wrappings charm with their style. The roll section offers a wide choice of wrapping papers. For tags, originality takes centre stage. Rather than classic rectangular models, festive and special shapes appear. Finally, matching ribbons go perfectly with the chosen papers. A few hours of wrapping later, a magical, enchanted paper world takes shape under the tree.
