The dark, heavy furniture looks like what (Danish) furniture shops make for the US market, very different from the open, light, and minimalistic Scandinavian (mostly Swedish) design school used for products made for the home market. You know the design from IKEA, but there exists much more expensive (and somewhat higher quality) products. My first reaction was that this might be a deliberate provocation against what would be considered good taste in Sweden.
