The result is the creative catalogue you are reading now.
The aim of Anna and Clara’s DIY catalogue is to provide inspiration all year round for fun projects for arts and crafts lovers of all ages. The sisters’ appreciation of natural materials is clearly reflected in the choice of materials for the projects. They have chosen to concentrate on four basic materials: self-hardening clay, leather, felt and paper.
However, you will also find projects using yarn, beads, pipe cleaners and much more. Anna and Clara hope that you will feel inspired by their creative catalogue. Remember to use #grenediy when posting photos of the projects you choose to make so the sisters can admire your creativity.
We hope you have a creative time exploring our catalogue!
Be inspired by Anna and Clara’s new ideas for autumn
In designing this autumn’s interiors collection, the sisters have created a stylish collection based on the contrasting of softly feminine, stringently architectural and lively graphic items. The colours are soft and subdued. While Anna has indulged in geometric shapes and small, delicate patterns, Clara has added a functional touch. “The magic of interior design is the way that it can help make your home appear both more spacious and more beautiful,” Clara says.
The interiors collection includes a series of furniture made of wood veneer, carefully proportioned lamps and graphic and artistic effects for the walls. You will also discover a wide range of lovely ceramics and ever so soft textiles. And as always, the collection includes a wealth of sisterly designs of decorative home accessories and appetising kitchenware.
In the catalogue, you can experience the new collection, but also find interior design tips and ideas for creative projects and read about Anna and Clara’s fascination with new urban neighbourhoods where life and joy abound.
Welcome to a new season at Søstrene Grene.
Anna and Clara hope that you will feel inspired.
A stylish and charming office
This season Anna and Clara are pleased to present a delightful, Nordic office collection inspired by the Bauhaus movement of the 1920s and thereabouts. Simple geometrical motifs – like the cylinder, the cube and the triangle – are recurring shapes in the prints and products which the sisters have carefully selected.
The collection, which includes hardcover notebooks, ring binders and a variety of writing utensils, also comprises a stylish desk, a sculptural lamp, a gracious office chair and lots more. You will see that the paper-based products in the collection are FSC®-certified to highlight the sustainable origins of the materials. Look for the FSC® logo displayed in connection with the certified products.
In the catalogue, you can also find tips for decorating your home and ideas for your home office – and read about why four creative bloggers are so fascinated by the ‘bullet journal’ concept. Moreover, the final section of the catalogue shows a selection of office supplies for children’s rooms as well as fun drawing exercises for creative souls.
The sisters hope you have an absolutely wonderful time exploring the catalogue!
Søstrene Grene’s outdoor living collection 2018
This season, Anna and Clara are presenting an urban-inspired outdoor living collection for your balcony or terrace. The collection comprises everything from garden furniture and flowerpots to lighting and tableware products, all in a distinct graphic design. Natural green and grey hues are the prevalent colours this season, contrasting beautifully with the resplendent and colourful flora of the summer season.
In addition to the new products for the season, the catalogue presents Anna and Clara’s urban gardening tips as well as ideas on how to make the most of the limited space on your balcony or terrace. Read the interview with the gardening blogger Maria Christensen, who explains how she furnishes her personal outdoor living spaces for ‘hygge’ and happy moments.
We hope you have an absolutely wonderful time exploring our catalogue!
Be inspired by Anna and Clara’s new ideas for spring
In designing their interiors collection for spring, the sisters have placed great emphasis on creating beautiful and expressive elements which will bring warmth, tranquillity and idyll to home interiors. Soft shapes and textiles in fine, subdued colours take pride of place this spring, once again combined with natural materials such as wood and rattan, which the sisters love.
Coloured glass is a trend which the sisters firmly believe in this season, and their collection includes both vases and small items of furniture with glass details. And of course, spring also means fresh flowers – which can be found both as design motifs and arranged in delightful vases throughout the catalogue.
Hopefully, you will have an absolutely wonderful time exploring the catalogue.
New interior products for children
Anna and Clara love designing for children, which is why the two sisters have decided to create an entirely new category with interior products for the little ones. In future therefore, you will be able to find new interior products for children’s bedrooms and play areas throughout the year at Søstrene Grene. It is already possible to view the extensive spring selection.
Please explore the catalogue, where beautiful, hand-drawn illustrations, enchanting colours and dreamy animals invite you in to a wonderful world of play. Find inspiration on how to decorate your child’s bedroom with a charming tepee, animal-shaped night lights, pretty wall stickers, a delicate bedstead canopy and much, much more.
Nordic Christmas cosiness
with Anna and Clara
Anna and Clara’s 2017 Christmas collection

Among this season’s collection are golden tones as well as variations on the traditional red and green Christmas colours.
You are hereby invited to explore the catalogue, which offers up inspiration for this year’s Christmas decorations, gift-wrapping, baking and, as something new, a whole section dedicated to Christmas gift wishes.

AN ELEGANT INTERPLAY
BETWEEN SHAPES
AND COLOURS
Create colour harmony in your home
This season, Anna recommends decorating in a simple fashion while remaining colour-conscious. As such, this autumn’s interior collection includes a minimalist interplay between cool and warm materials, as well as a balanced range of colours that interact playfully with the complimentary relationship between green hues and reddish tones.
The sisters invite you to explore the collection, which contains graceful terrazzo tables, elegant chairs, sparse metal shelves and geometric plant stands for nature’s flora. You will also find a selection of refined wooden kitchen utensils, a rustic stoneware dinner set, soft textiles – and much, much more.
Welcome to a new season at Søstrene Grene.
Graceful settings
and supplies
FOR OFFICE AND SCHOOL
The sun is shining through the window as Anna’s fountain pen runs undisturbed over a sheet of paper. Gripped by excitement and enthusiasm for her work, Anna draws delicate patterns while contemplating the joy of learning and a job well done.
Time spent diligently learning should feel like a gift for yourself, Anna thinks, which is why she is so fond of surrounding herself with beautiful, inspiring items. For some time now, she and Clara have discussed the idea of creating a line of visually appealing office and school supplies whose graceful style would motivate and promote creativity. And now the product line is finally ready.
New items – for children and adults alike
The sisters invite you to explore the catalogue, where you will find almost everything you will need for your home office or schoolwork – including handy notebooks, spacious storage units, lovely folders and useful writing utensils.
Anna has carefully drawn each pattern and motif by hand, and she has made a special effort to bring joy to both children and adults alike. Thus, the line includes exclusive floral prints with gilded details, cheerful animal motifs in summer colours and much, much more.
Welcome to a new season at Søstrene Grene.
SET THE SUMMER MOOD WITH
Anna and Clara’s latest items for
the season’s outdoor living
It is a sunny summer day on a tiny balcony, and Anna and Clara are relaxing and enjoying a batch of fresh lemonade. Surrounded by beautiful, blooming city gardens and neighbouring balconies, the two sisters lean back in their respective garden chairs and contemplate the green delights that have popped up in the middle of the city in recent years. They are pleased by the trend – and Anna feels so inspired that ideas for a new collection begin to take shoot inside of her. Later that day, and with a great deal of excitement, Anna explains to Clara how she would like to assemble a small, new outdoor collection. And now that collection is finally ready.
Anna describes the collection as an exciting blend of the playful combined with more tranquil and simple elements. The colours that characterise the collection are green, rose/terracotta and dark blue, and they come together to create a stylish focal point for your home’s outdoor areas.
Budding new items
We invite you to explore the new collection, which includes elegant garden chairs and tables as well as chair cushions and blankets. You will also find a large selection of balcony planters and flowerpots in a refreshing range of colours.
Anna has also incorporated fine details for the outdoor scenery in the form of cosy lanterns, vases and tealight holders.
Welcome to a new season at Søstrene Grene.
Original and irresistible Paris
In the city of all cities, Paris, one finds the most enchanting ambience. It is a place where dreams and designer ideas can truly run free. This is something Anna knows firsthand from her days as a student in a Parisian design school. Anna was visited by Clara during her semester-long stay, and together the sisters explored the city from the rattan cane chairs at local bistros found along the lovely streets of Paris.
Even though the memories remain strong in their minds, it is only when the sisters find themselves face to face with the beauty of Paris that they remember just how enthralled they are by the city, its lovely architecture and its unmatched elegance. With fresh inspiration from the French capital and sophisticated Parisians, the sisters have created a new interior collection.
The springtime home must be full of colour and life
The springtime interior collection offers a taste of Parisian decadence and Scandinavian minimalism. It is an exciting mix of traditional and modern. Anna describes the collection as eclectic with plenty of fun, combined with various styles, colour hues, patterns and textures brought together into a fantastic whole.
We invite you to discover the new collection, where among other things you will find fascinating lighting, elegant chairs and pouffes, decorative shelves and refined trolley tables – all perfect for still life. You will also find a selection of soft textiles, kitchen equipment as well as ceramic vases and candle holders. Everything in a beautiful colour symbiosis.
Welcome to a new season at Søstrene Grene.
Christmas is right around the corner. It is the most wonderful and magical time of the year. At Christmas time, star dust descends from the heavens and fills our hearts with happiness and kindness. Anna and Clara adore the holiday season. The sisters find that the wonderful atmosphere associated with Christmas brings them closer to their family and friends, and that is why Anna and Clara love the holiday.
This Christmas, though, is something truly special for the two sisters. Anna and Clara have actually been invited to present this year’s Christmas collection at the spectacular, tradition-bound Danish castle, Kronborg. With its fantastic architecture and fabled history, it is a castle that has always filled the sisters with a sense of wonder. Anna and Clara have visited the castle many times over the years, as a Christmas market is held there each December.
Explore this year’s Christmas collection, whose design idiom is rooted in elements from the natural world of the Nordic Region and which is presented to you here in the beautiful surroundings of Kronborg Castle. You will also find nostalgic Christmas classics as well as graphic and modern elements, so that you can combine different designs to create a unique and personalised Christmas with Søstrene Grene.
Anna and Clara believe Christmas should be the cosiest time of the year, and the most important thing about the holiday is to be present in the moment and enjoy the joyful Christmas memories that are created when family and close friends gather. In the words of Clara, ”With the right state of mind, the joy of Christmas can be everlasting.”
Søstrene Grene wish you and yours a very Happy Christmas.
With warmest wishes, Anna and Clara
NOTE: The products will be delivered for sale in shops in different weeks. See the expected delivery dates in the product list at the back of the catalogue, or keep an eye on Facebook and Instagram.
Anna and Clara came across an elegant end-of-sixties architect-designed house and were charmed by the attention to detail and materials. Room by room, the two sisters took careful note of the clean lines and subtleties of design they encountered.
The purist sixties soul of the house, with its well-thought-out features and architectural coherence, fascinated both sisters. Anna in particular was motivated to return to her creative corner and take out her sketch book and pen: the ideas were coming fast.
Anna explains enthusiastically how she set about composing a new interiors collection, taking inspiration from their visit to the distinctive dwelling. All summer has been spent designing the collection. Now it’s ready. A new, elegant autumn collection which pays homage to the architectural ideals of those days.
The collection offers brilliant lighting, soft textiles, tactile ceramics, natural wood, sparkling glass and small items of furniture. Colours are muted; pale shades set off by dusty, deep tones. Anna has taken particular care with the finer points in the heart of the home, the kitchen.
This catalogue provides the inspiration you need for an autumnal revamp.
The products shown will be available in shops from 8 September 2016 and while stocks last.
Welcome to a new season at Søstrene Grene!
With warmest wishes, Anna and Clara
For Anna and Clara, it is important that the settings and utensils they surround themselves with are inspiring and attractive. That is why the sisters make a great deal out of decorating their creative workspace, as this is where big ideas will be brought to life. As Anna sees it, useful and aesthetically pleasing tools contribute to the creation of masterpieces.
With the importance they give to inspirational workspaces, Anna and Clara have created a new product series that will provide you with everything you might need for school, the office or your very own creative corner. This year, Anna and Clara have chosen artistic prints, deep colours and stylish, shining details to form the basis of the new products.
The new products presented here will be available in all Søstrene Grene shops on 28 July and for as long as supplies last.
Anna and Clara wish you all a great summer.
With warmest wishes, Anna and Clara
One summer day, while enjoying the sun’s warmth as natural light pours through an open window, Anna and Clara turn their discussion to the nature of learning. After a lengthy exchange of thoughts and happy school day memories, Clara recalls what her teacher, Madam Vinter, always told her: “Knowledge is a treasure you take with you wherever you go.” The sisters look at one another and recognise the wisdom of these words, which so simply and beautifully pinpoint the essence of learning.
This year, Anna and Clara have chosen fanciful characters, delicate colours and sweet, stylish designs to form the basis of a new series of products intended to create a space for learning.
This catalogue presents the new product series, and in it you will find everything you might need for the new school year. The new products presented in the catalogue will be available in all Søstrene Grene shops on 30 June and for as long as supplies last.
Learning and well-being go hand in hand.
Anna and Clara wish everyone a lovely start to a new school year.
With kind regards, Anna and Clara
Anna and Clara have spent many inspiring hours at the spacious,
light-filled home of artist Ole, an old friend of the family.
Late one evening in Ole’s studio, an idea surfaced for a new interior design
collection based on Ole’s insight that life cannot be lived according to a formula.
This season, Anna and Clara have furnished their mood board with ’60s and ’70s
colour and patterns, soft Scandinavian bohemian styling and Ole’s originals.
Art can stir up the mood in the home.
Keywords for the spring interiors collection are
creativity, colour, nature, wood, basketwork and soft textiles.
And what is liberating is that these things do not have to match or be
coordinated. A relaxed lifestyle is the order of the day.
There is something extremely pleasant about spaces that exude personality
and informality, and where furnishing and details
reflect the comfort to be gained from good living.
Welcome to a new season.
Anna and Clara look forward to welcoming you into their wonderful world.
