NINA D

Arrange a visit to Nina’s Studio in Altrincham. Hej! My name is Nina and I would like to introduce my brand NINA D. These are handcrafted in England. Nina D

NINA D is an award winning luxury tableware brand based in Cheshire with Nina’s hand illustrated designs, inspired by her Swedish upbringing and family traditions. I produce high quality homeware products inspired by my Swedish upbringing and family traditions. Each design is named after a person or a place close to my heart in Sweden. Meticulously hand illustrated, this collection features a range of bespoke patterns. Unique textures within each ornately layered, two-dimensional design. I have lived in England for twenty five years and today I live in Altrincham. My range includes large and medium placemats with matching round and square coasters. My designs have also been produced on Swedish birch wood serving trays by the renowned tray manufacturer Åry Trays. The linen napkins and table runners are handmade by a small family business in Lithuania, using 100% flax linen with my brand name beautifully hand embroidered in rose gold. All my products have included sustainably sourced materials which is important to me. My homeware range captures the essence of Scandinavian tradition where dining is cherished and a time to re-connect with loved ones. My Swedish family take great pride in setting the table and their inspiration is at the heart of my exquisite range. Each order comes beautifully gift wrapped with a personal handwritten note.

From inspiration to illustration. From illustration to something to treasure. ✍🏻

These photographs capture me creating the Gotland design, bringing together layers of illustration, colour and detail to tell a story inspired by my Swedish heritage.

I have always chosen to work by hand. During my set and costume studies, we could take the route of computer-aided design or continue drawing by hand. I knew which path felt right for me.

I have wonderful memories of my time as an architectural apprentice at Tengbom Arkitekter in Stockholm, where Senior architects taught me to draw plans and elevations by hand. One of my early assignments was drawing the new washrooms into the architectural plans for Stockholm Concert Hall - a building designed by Ivar Tengbom and inaugurated in 1926.

Every detail mattered, even the ones most people might never notice.

Looking back, I can see how those early experiences shaped the way I work today. My background in special design, illustration and visual storytelling continues to influence how I compose a scene, build layers and translate inspiration into original designs.

Each of my Nina D designs begin with a drawing and develops into a collection of luxury tableware and homeware, made to bring stories, memories and a little more meaning to the table.

For me, the beauty is not only in the finished piece. It is also in the process, the hands behind it and the story that lives within it. 💛

A season for making an entrance 🍂

Emerald green. A touch of gold. Autumn, dressed for the occasion.

Beautifully considered details. Original artwork. A table with a story to tell.

A little Swedish fika, with a touch of autumn 🍂

After a busy few weeks of travelling, meeting inspiring people and embracing new opportunities, there’s something rather lovely about coming home and slowing down.

A coffee, a slice of homemade apple cake and a beautifully set table. Sometimes, it’s the simplest moments that feel most special.

Inspired by our Swedish tradition of fika, this is a little reminder to pause, enjoy a sweet treat and make time for the people around us.

Here, my Gotland tableware sits alongside our olive green linen napkins - a beautiful shade for autumn, bringing natural warmth to the table.

I’m also delighted that our olive green linen napkins feature in the November issue of House Beautiful. A lovely moment for Nina D.

Because a beautifully set table is about more than what’s on it. It’s about making space to connect, share stories and feel at home.

Wishing you a lovely, slower weekend.

(The tablecloth was crocheted by my beloved grandmother Maria).

Perhaps what we need in a world that moves faster and faster is permission to pause.

I’ve been thinking about the growing conversation around slowing down, stepping away from our screens and finding more meaning in our everyday rituals.

But for me, this isn’t a new idea.

The ritual of setting the table goes right back to my childhood and to the time I spent visiting my grandparents in Gotland.

A table set for a meal. Food prepared and shared. Everyone sitting down together. A moment to pause and simply be present with one another.

Those memories have stayed with me.

And perhaps that’s why setting the table has always felt like much more than putting out plates and placemats.

It’s a little ritual of preparation and anticipation. Light a candle, choosing the napkins, pouring something to drink - and then sitting down together.

For a while, the phones can be put away and the outside world can wait.

This has been part of the Nina D story from the very beginning: creating tableware inspired by heritage, illustration and the traditions that make a home feel personal.

Perhaps luxury isn’t always about having more.

Perhaps sometimes it’s about creating a little more space for the things that matter. 🤍

As September draws to a close, a little reminder of Nina D 💛

Hand-illustrated tableware, inspired by Swedish heritage, family stories and the art of bringing people together around the table.

From beautifully illustrated placemats and trays to linen napkins, table runners and thoughtful gifts - each piece is designed to bring a little more character, story and warmth to the table.

And this autumn, we’ll be adding Nina’s Art Shop to the website, with a selection of A4 prints featuring Nina’s original illustrations - a lovely way to bring a little Nina D story into your home, or to give as a thoughtful gift.

If you haven’t discovered Nina D yet, I’d love you to take a look.

✨ Our first Christmas press feature of the year!✨

I’m so delighted to see Nina D featured in Your Home’s Christmas Made Easy 2026 publication, with our Turkish Delight Christmas table setting bringing colour, pattern and a little festive maximalism to the pages. ❤️

The editorial describes the table as:

“Bright and bold. Colourful, playful and artistic…”

…and I couldn’t love those words more.

With layers of texture, colourful Nina D placemats, pure linen, gold details, candlelight and jewel-like berry tones, this table was all about creating a joyful Christmas setting that feels as wonderful as it looks.

The Nina D pieces featured include our mustard linen napkin, Ida-Lilja coaster, large round placemat and round birch wood tray.

Ida-Lilja is particularly special to me - inspired by my mother and one of the family stories at the heart of Nina D.

For me, setting a Christmas table is about creating a feeling. A reason to gather, to linger, to light the candles and enjoy being together. ✨

A lovely way to begin our Christmas season.

A big thank you to Press Loft | PR Platform for sharing this Christmas trend with the press and helping our work reach the editors and stylists who bring these beautiful stories to life.

As autumn arrives and the days become shorter, I find myself thinking about the moments we create around the table. ✨

These photographs were taken a few years ago, when Lukas was much younger, and remain some of my favourites.

The deep blue, soft sage green of Ekotemplet, eucalyptus foliage, candlelight - and that feeling of being at home together.

Swedish traditions have always been a part of our family traditions too. The scent of saffron buns baking is one of those simple memories that can take me straight back to Sweden.

For me, beautiful living has never been about perfection.

It’s about creating a feeling.

A place to gather, share good food, continue traditions and make memories.

And that feeling is at the heart of Nina D.
