Hassle Skola is the Wiking family’s home in a converted school building in southern Sweden. Filled with vintage design, cocooning colours and an abundance of flowers, Sophie and Gustaf’s house is the embodiment of the Scandinavian dream.

Sophie is a floral designer creating installations for weddings, events, and museums, while Gustaf works at a tech company. The couple used to live in Malmö, but always wanted a quieter lifestyle in the countryside. “I wanted to grow my own flowers for my business and I wanted to live in a brick house with high ceilings,” says Sophie.
