The Cherry Fabric by Nordicmodern is a celebration of Danish design and the enduring charm of Scandinavian aesthetics. Originally created in the early 1940s by acclaimed textile designer Marie Gudme Leth, this vibrant print captures the spirit of an era defined by resilience, creativity, and a deep connection to nature.
The cheerful pattern, featuring stylized birds nestled among cherry and peach branches, holds a cherished place in Danish arts and crafts. Its joyful composition, inspired by native Danish flora, brought color and optimism into homes during the difficult years of World War II. Queen Ingrid’s personal endorsement further cemented its iconic status, as the pattern was used to adorn one of the princesses’ rooms.
What sets the Cherry Fabric by Nordicmodern apart—beyond its rich cultural heritage—is its pioneering production technique. This design was the first in Denmark to be applied to fabric using a novel photographic transfer method, a breakthrough that allowed for remarkable precision and detail at the time.
Revived today by Nordicmodern, the Cherry pattern remains a fresh and timeless expression of Scandinavian design, blending history, nature, and innovation in one elegant textile. Whether used for upholstery, curtains, or accent pieces, the Cherry Fabric brings a touch of warmth, color, and Danish tradition to any space.

People from Scandinavia and the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden—and Iceland) obsess over high-quality design, exquisite craftsmanship, and sustainability.

We are not suggesting that incorporating Scandinavian design in your home will make you happier (wink). But we do believe that making intentional choices about the objects that surround us—their beauty, longevity, and functionality—can improve our daily lives.
What "Scandinavian" philosophies & values?
Nørdikka Collective showcases classic pieces by iconic mid-century designers, alongside work by the region's emerging talent. What unites them is a timeless pursuit of design perfection: form follows function; beauty in minimalism; quality is luxury; and longevity is sustainability.
The term "Scandinavian" isn't just about our objects, but rather the philosophies and values the objects represent. Our partners revere environmental stewardship, value human-centered manufacturing, and work to preserve their cultures' design heritage for future generations.
