Gotland/AQ

Each year, as the Baltic summer ripens and the breeze grows sweet with sea grass and pine, I am reminded why we build boats the way we do. The quiet anticipation before casting off—the hush on Gotland’s dawn-lit marina, the crew padding barefoot across varnished mahogany, the distant call of seabirds—this is the beginning of the adventure for our latest creation, Amazon Queen.

When someone first steps aboard a Torpedo, their hand often lingers on the mahogany – the gleaming coamings, the deck panels glowing under twenty coats of varnish. It’s an instinctive reaction.

As J Craft develops a range of innovative furniture with Danish designer Johannes Torpe, which will launch later in the year, we look at six designers who, while epitomising the region’s reputation for craftsmanship and elegance, also show how there is so much more to the “Scandi” aesthetic than quiet minimalism

Built on the island of Gotland, just south of Fårö, the J Craft Torpedo is inspired by the Baltic Sea—designed to master the waves, Nordic and otherwise

As the 2025 Cannes Film Festival draws to a close, we celebrate Swedish filmmaker and screenwriter Ingmar Bergman. Known for his bleak aesthetic and cult films like Persona, The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries, Bergman had one enduring love in his life – the island of Fårö, just north of Gotland, J Craft’s home
