Video of the week: 19 tools to make cooking easier
9 April, 2022Hello readers! Today I want to talk about my newest find, which I am obsessed with. Scandi inspired kitchen appliances. Recently, I have purchased a new kettle of a Nordic collection from the British company Swan, and I can’t be happier. The design is wonderful, the function is as it should be, and my morning coffee is still hot! Now, let’s have a closer look at the Nordic collection and the company itself.
Scandi inspired kitchen appliances
First of all, let’s refresh our knowledge about what Scandi style is. A special and unique characteristic of a Scandinavian interior design is simplicity and functionality. Every part of the interior must have a purpose and be there for a reason. The items have a warm and comfortable feeling. Scandinavian winters are cold, so the design is all about having light and keeping a warm and cozy feeling at home. Decor items that match the Scandinavian interior design have natural elements (stones, wood, pines etc.).
Swan brand
When I was looking for a new kettle, I wanted it to combine a few things that are important to me: sleek design, calming colour, natural elements and, of course, functionality. I stumbled upon this company, called Swan, and I got obsessed with their products. My attention got to their Nordic collection, Scandi inspired kitchen appliances.
The “Swan Brand” name was registered by Bulpitt & Sons Ltd, a brass founder, in the early part of the 20th century and was primarily used for their domestic range of polished aluminum products like frying pans, kettles, tea sets and jelly molds. In the 1920s, Bulpitt moved into electrical appliances including kettles, irons, heaters, and steamers.


In 1933, Swan was the first to develop an electric heating element that could be immersed in water. This led to the Swan kettle range that could boil up to six pints of water in just over 9 minutes, which was a big deal back then. Nowadays, it takes up to 2 minutes for a Swan kettle to boil.
Nordic collection
A recognizably Scandi inspired collection, the Nordic range utilizes the soft wooden textures and neutral colors of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland to truly transport the taste of Scandinavia to your home.
The kettle, the microwave, the toaster



The cordless kettle body and wood effect handle creates a sense of functional but stylish simplicity. It can boil 1.7L of water and has 3000W of power. A blue switch with an LED indicator shows if the kettle is on or off.
The 20L microwave is available in four color tones, and all feature a wood effect pull handle and a minimalist, modern design. 800W of power combined with six power levels, including a handy defrost setting, ensures convenience and ease of use.
