Scandinavian Style for Your Bed
Nordic Knots, the Stockholm-based design brand known for its elegant rugs and luxurious, billowy curtains, is moving decidedly into the bedroom with the launch of a 65-piece textile collection. It includes 400-thread-count percale and sateen sheets, densely woven linen bedspreads and decorative pillows — in velvet or jacquard leopard print, among other materials — as well as two styles of upholstered headboard, one classically rectangular and the other crown shaped. Pairing neutral tones with a few sophisticated bursts of color (such as the subtle, rusty orange of a cashmere throw and the Bordeaux piping of a crisp baby blue pillowcase), the collection captures a quintessentially Swedish formality and appreciation for detail. “So much of the bedding market seems to be full of unmade beds, croissants, rumpled linens: It’s often romantic, careless and a bit messy — that’s not us,” says the company’s CEO and co-founder Fabian Berglund. “We iron our sheets. We want our bed to be perfectly made. Like a great outfit, put together with intention.” From $90 for a pillowcase, nordicknots.com.

José María Velasco’s Mexican Landscapes, on View in Minneapolis
This fall, the Minneapolis Institute of Art presents a collection of landscape paintings by the 19th-century Mexican painter José María Velasco. Nature — often the hills or volcanoes of the Valley of Mexico — is the focal point in Velasco’s meticulous oil on canvas works, but in several pieces, pristine views are interrupted by distant smoke clouds or railway tracks, symbolizing the rise of industrialization. Velasco, who lived most of his life in Mexico City, studied painting at the city’s Academia de San Carlos while also taking classes in geology, botany and zoology at the Academia de Medicina. His education informed his detailed documentation of the flora and fauna of the region. Toward the end of his life, the artist turned to the sky: His 1910 painting “The Great Comet of 1882,” which shows a streak of light against hazy hills, is featured in the show. That same year, the Mexican Revolution began, lending the piece portentous weight and further solidifying the artist’s connection to Mexican history. “José María Velasco: A View of Mexico” will be on view from Sept. 27, 2025, through Jan. 4, 2026, at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, new.artsmia.org.
