This summer, I had the chance to return to Akraberg, the place that holds a special piece of my heart and a big part of my family’s story. Akraberg, the southernmost tip of the Faroe Islands, is where my grandfather was born, the son of a Danish lighthouse keeper and a strong, resourceful mother who raised her children in this remote and rugged landscape.
As a child, I spent every summer in the Southern Islands with my grandparents, surrounded by our big, extended family. Those were the days of endless adventure and hard work. We’d help with the hay, tend to the sheep and geese, and there were always so many cousins around, making sure there was never a dull moment. The summers were full of laughter, chores, and the kind of freedom that comes with being close to nature.
This year, being back in Akraberg brought all those memories flooding back. The familiar sound of the wind, the sight of the Atlantic stretching endlessly before me—it felt like stepping into a cherished memory. I took the opportunity to capture some photos with the Atlantic as a backdrop, hoping to share a little piece of this special place with you.
Akraberg isn’t just where my grandfather’s story began; it’s a place that’s deeply woven into my own identity and the values I bring to my work. The simplicity, resilience, and beauty of this landscape are what inspire our collections, especially the soft merino wool pieces that are designed to bring warmth and comfort, no matter where you are.
As I walked through the fields and along the cliffs, I was reminded of why I started minimalisma—to create clothing that feels like home, no matter where life takes you. Just like those summers spent with my family, our merino wool garments are made to be timeless, reliable, and deeply connected to nature.
Thank you for allowing me to share a bit of my journey back to Akraberg with you. I hope that through our collections, you too can feel a connection to the simple joys and enduring beauty that this place represents.
