Welcome
Nordic Journal Fall/Winter 2013
Welcome Welcome to Nordic Journal – Fall / Winter 2013 Nothing defines the Scandinavian way of life more than enjoying the contrasts in the changing seasons where the reason for wearing either lighter or heavier outerwear is obvious. People dress up in warmer and more practical clothes, preparing themselves for harsher weather. And it is in this lifestyle where we find Nimbus reason to be. Like so many seasons before, we aim to provide great outerwear that bridge functionality and fashion products that allow the full enjoyment of the active and modern way of life that we Scandinavians embrace. This season is no different, and with two upgraded styles in our large range of jackets we are ready to take on a chilly fall and cold winter. Explore within these pages more about the Scandinavian legacy and lifestyle, an inspiring presentation of our winter styles and several introductions to skilled Scandinavian friends with an eye for good craftsmanship in both fashion and design. We wish you a pleasant stroll through the pages of this edition of the Nordic Journal. Lars Hammer CEO Nimbus Nordic A/S

During the colder months of the year, the Nordics spend a large amount of time indoors. This has led to a culture of people that embrace their indoor surroundings. Spending time on making spaces comfortable and enjoyable areas in which to take some time out.
A GOOD WARM BREW Put ground coffee beans directly into the glass flask, fill with boiling water and stir. Insert the filter and serve the coffee directly from the flask after brewing for four minutes. It’s as simple as that, and the neoprene cover keeps the coffee warm for 30 minutes. www.evasolo.dk

NORWAY – FÅRIKÅL In Norway, the last Thursday in September is dedicated to the traditional dish – Fårikål – which literally means “sheep in cabbage”. It consists of pieces of mutton with bone, cabbage, whole black pepper, and often a little wheat flour, cooked for several hours in a casserole, traditionally served with potatoes boiled in their jackets. In the 1970s the dish was elected national dish of Norway by the popular radio programme Nitimen.
DENMARK – ST. MARTIN The Feast of St. Martin is celebrated in Denmark on the eve of November 10th. Saint Martin was a monk that didn’t want to be a bishop, and in an attempt to avoid this, he hid in a goose pen, where he was betrayed by the cackling of the geese. He took the goose as his personal symbol, and celebrates his nameday in November when the geese are ready for killing. The goose has later been replaced by duck, as its size suits modern families better.

SWEDEN – KANALBULLAR Cinnamon buns, or kanelbullar, have a special place in Swedish food culture, and October 4th is known as Cinnamon Bun Day. The tradition of Cinnamon Bun Day was created in 1999 when the staff at Sweden’s Hembakningsrådet (Home Baking Counsil) were looking for a way to celebrate their fortieth anniversary, and found that the cinnamon bun was the best symbol for Swedish home baking. The traditional Swedish cinnamon bun is topped with a sprinkling cinnamon and nib sugar.
