Local tips
- Plan extra time to browse slowly; the shop is small but densely curated, and you may discover clothing, jewellery and interior pieces tucked into different corners.
- If you are sensitive to noise, check in advance whether Brundby Rock Hotel has concerts during your stay, as evenings nearby can be lively on event nights.
- Combine a visit with a bike ride through Brundby’s countryside and down to Ballen’s harbor and beach for a full day of village shopping and coastal scenery.
- Ask about locally made items; many pieces reflect Samsø’s colors and materials, making them distinctive souvenirs that travel easily in luggage.
- If staying in the B&B rooms, pack light, soft bags rather than large hard suitcases to move more easily in the home-like upper floor spaces.

Discover more about MoltkeDesign
A creative hideaway in the heart of Brundby
MoltkeDesign sits in the small village of Brundby on Samsø, an island known for soft hills, half-timbered farms and wide northern skies. Housed in a low, village-scale building, the place feels more like a welcoming home than a conventional store. Step inside and you are in a light-filled space where clothing rails, ceramics and artworks share the same room, framed by wooden floors and simple Scandinavian lines. The atmosphere is deliberately unhurried. You linger over textiles and objects, noticing how many pieces feel handcrafted or thoughtfully sourced rather than mass-produced. It is the sort of spot where you quickly sense an owner’s eye behind every vignette, from a stack of cushions on a bench to a necklace draped over a piece of driftwood.Scandinavian fashion, art and interiors under one roof
MoltkeDesign’s core is its small but varied selection of design-led goods. Patterned dresses and soft knits hang next to more tailored, minimalist pieces, with options for both women and men. Jewellery ranges from delicate everyday items to bolder statement pieces, often echoing the island’s colors and coastal shapes. Beyond clothing, shelves carry ceramics, art prints and interior objects that suit relaxed Nordic homes: muted tones, natural materials and clean silhouettes. You might find a hand-thrown mug beside a sculptural vase, or a textile wall hanging sharing space with candles and glassware. For many visitors, it doubles as both boutique and gallery, a place to pick up something wearable alongside a small artwork or object for home.Three intimate rooms for island overnights
Upstairs, MoltkeDesign transforms into a tiny bed and breakfast with just three guest rooms. Each room is individually styled, using the same design language as the shop: simple lines, layered textiles and carefully chosen details rather than hotel uniformity. Expect wooden furniture, cushions you recognize from downstairs and perhaps an original print above the bed. The scale is domestic rather than grand. Shared spaces feel like corners of a lived-in house, with daylight filtering in and views toward village roofs or garden greenery. It works well for couples, solo travelers or close friends seeking a quiet base with personality rather than a large resort feel.Village life and a legendary music neighbor
Part of MoltkeDesign’s charm is its location right in Brundby. Step outside and you are moments from narrow lanes, older houses and open fields at the village edge. Just along the way stands Brundby Rock Hotel, an iconic local music venue that often draws bands and music lovers to the area, giving this otherwise tranquil village a pleasantly bohemian twist on concert nights. From here, Samsø’s compact scale makes it easy to reach beaches, small harbors and farm stands by bike or car. Returning in the evening, the shopfront glows softly, and if you are staying overnight you simply head upstairs, bridging the line between being a guest and a local.Slow island shopping with a personal touch
Visiting MoltkeDesign is less about ticking off a must-see attraction and more about slipping into the island’s slower rhythm. You might browse in the afternoon sun, try on a jacket, then step outside to sit on a nearby bench and listen to birds over the fields before returning to choose a piece of jewellery. Because the business is small and owner-driven, there is a sense of personality in both the selection and the way the rooms are arranged. For travelers interested in design, textiles and artful living, it becomes a gentle highlight of a Samsø itinerary: a place to find something beautiful, sleep surrounded by good design, and experience village life from the inside rather than just passing through.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
