Discover more about Eskehus Samsø
Design haven in the heart of Brundby
Eskehus Samsø sits on Brundby’s main street, a whitewashed village house transformed into a calm, contemporary design store. Step through the door and you move from a quiet island road into a carefully styled world of textiles, ceramics, and art. The scale is intimate, more like entering a private home than a department store, with wooden floors, soft lighting and thoughtful vignettes of objects that invite you to slow down and look twice. The atmosphere bridges traditional Danish cosiness and modern minimalism. Original details in the old house set a warm backdrop for clean-lined furniture, sculptural lamps and tactile accessories. It feels both rooted in Samsø’s rural setting and very much in tune with current Scandinavian design trends.Signature clothing and curated interiors
At the core of Eskehus is the house clothing label BY BJORKSTRAND, offering pieces for both men and women. The garments favour simple silhouettes, quality fabrics and a palette that leans towards timeless rather than seasonal, fitting easily into a Nordic wardrobe. Rails are edited rather than packed, so each piece has space to be seen. Beyond fashion, the store is known for interiors with a sustainable touch. Shelves hold ceramics in muted glazes, hand-poured candles, glassware, textiles and small furniture that work as subtle accents rather than statement showpieces. The selection feels cohesive, as if one person with a clear eye has chosen every item to live comfortably side by side.Art, botanical prints and creative details
Eskehus also doubles as a small gallery. Walls display paintings and botanical art prints, ranging from soft watercolours to more graphic compositions. Many of the works echo the island’s nature: delicate plant studies, sea-inspired tones and abstract landscapes that nod to fields and coastline. The art is integrated into the shop rather than split off in a separate white cube. A ceramic vessel might sit below a framed print, or textiles will pick up colours from a canvas. This layered approach encourages you to imagine how pieces could work together back home and turns a shopping visit into a quiet aesthetic experience.Slow shopping with island character
Visiting Eskehus is unhurried by design. The limited opening hours reinforce a gentle rhythm; this is a place to browse in the afternoon, not rush through on a busy errand list. You can move from room to room, discovering small corners where a chair, a throw and a lamp form an inviting still life. Because Samsø is compact, the store is often part of a wider day exploring villages, fields and coastal viewpoints. Eskehus offers a contrasting indoor pause: a chance to step out of the elements, feel different textures, and consider a piece that will carry the island mood back with you.Thoughtful souvenirs and practical details
Prices range from accessible postcards and prints to investment clothing and larger interior objects, making it easy to find something that fits both suitcase and budget. Many items are practical as well as beautiful, from soft scarves and knitwear suited to the local climate to ceramics ideal for everyday use. The shop’s compact size means you can see most of the selection in a single visit, yet the layered displays reward a second circuit. Opening hours are typically concentrated in early to late afternoon on selected days, so it is wise to check them in advance when planning your Samsø itinerary.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
