Product Description

Product Description

Scandinavian Modern was the most influential and enduring design movement of the twentieth century, dominating the international scene in the 1950s and continuing to shape the way we live today. Architects and designers from Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland - four countries that at the time had a combined population no greater than New York City - were responsible for a range of contemporary homes, furniture, textiles, ceramics, glassware and other products that defined an entire approach to modern post-war living."Scandinavian Modern Home" traces the development of this perennially popular style within its countries of origin from the late 1920s, and explores how that look was subsequently exported throughout Europe and the USA, introducing the most important designers and their work. What characterises Scandinavian Modern is its approachability; the use of natural materials and organic forms combined with clean lines and attention to basic practicality and comfort. These are all key design trademarks that are detailed within this book to give a clear understanding of what constitutes the Scandinavian Modern style.The book combines a collector's guide to the classic products, designers and manufacturers of Scandinavian Modern design, with advice on how to put the look together using new or vintage pieces. It then goes on to explore some of the most unique and interesting homes across the world that have interpreted the Scandinavian aesthetic for contemporary living. "Scandinavian Modern Home" demonstrates this elegant, yet informal design movement at its best and most accessible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simply Scandinavian, 10 Dec 2008
By K. Platt "blackplantlady" (Sheffield, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
For any lover of Scandinavian design, this book is a must. It traces the history of this enduring and influential design movement from its inception to the present day. It could be called 'Beyond Ikea' as the latter represents an echo of this design movement, relegated to mass production. The essence of the movement is the use of natural materials such as wood combined with organic form, warm and welcoming.

This book explores a range of furniture, textiles, ceramics and glassware from the 1920's onwards including so many classic chair designs. The book also gives an insight to homes in the Scandinavian style. Individual designers are showcased.

The modern, contemporary style so many strive for, appears to have been a Scandinavian aesthetic since the beginning of time. Simple and gracious, ornate yet useful, a natural style. Approaching its ninetieth birthday, this style is still so much of today.

This lavishly illustrated book with accompanying text is ideal for anyone interested in Scandinavian design but also for those looking for contemporary style and wanting to live a more natural life. Open plan living, indoors-outdoors, bringing light into the home, sleek wooden furniture, comfortable armchairs and dining chairs are all things we still need in our homes today. The Scandinavian designers are proof that simplicity is best. Apply a little Scandinavian design magic to your home.
