A scandinavian magazine of design and interiors

Rum International is an high-end english language magazine which showcases the best of Rum. The magazine appeals to design aficionados and professionals, and is deeply rooted in the Scandinavian lifestyle, but with an international scope.

In Issue 18:

This issue, themed around the irreplaceable art of craftspeople, is a celebration of the timeless, an ode to those who shape materials with their hands, bringing objects of profound beauty and utility to life. It’s a testament to our love for hands-on creativity, skill and dedication. This dedication is what unites the creatives featured in this issue, from woodworkers to ceramicists, glassblowers and textile artists.

Cracing the cover is the home of one such craftsperson, the Danish weaver Trine Ellitsgaard, who lives in Oaxaca, Mexico. She beautifully weaves two cultures – her Danish roots with Mexican materials and traditions – into her art. Ellitsgaard’s story, like many others in this issue, illustrates the profound connection craftspeople have with their work, bridging cultures and history through their art.

Join us, as we step inside her amazing home as well as the homes of other inspiring creatives throughout this issue, from the colourful, eclectic villa North of Copenhagen to the light-filled classic 19th century apartment in Lisbon imbued with Parisian sophistication.
