5.0 out of 5 stars Scandtastic!, 19 Jan 2003

By A Customer

At last - a quality book about a neglected area of design. Charlotte and Peter Fiell have produced a fantastic guide to 20th century Scandinavian design which covers all areas of design - furniture, glass, ceramics etc and includes all major designers.Each entry includes a concise and well-written piece of biographical and analytical text( informative and at the same time just the right length to keep you interested) accompanied by superb colour photographs. The book also provides a brief history of Scandinavian design over the last century which highlights the differences and similarities in approach between each Scandinavian country.This is a book that can be read from cover to cover, dipped into or just enjoyed for its visual impact. I love everything about this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Democratic objects, 3 Feb 2003

By	Robin Benson - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Another one of those excellent Fiell/Taschen overviews on design. This time, a huge 704 page, beautifully designed and printed pictorial collection of the essence of Scandinavian creativity. Although it covers the obvious furniture, metalware, glass, textiles and ceramics it also considers commercial products from companies like Fiskars, Hasselblad, IKEA, Lego, Saab, Volvo and nicely, even a company like Kompan, a producer of childrens playground equipment that is sold worldwide. I think this one reason for the commercial and creative success of Scandinavian products, they believe that good, simple design should be applied to everything and be available to all, the introduction calls these products democratic objects.

The book is a joy to look at. Each designer (or company with their logo) starts on a spread with a small head shot of the person, some text and the rest of the space, sometimes over several pages, devoted to photos. Interestingly with so many photos (more than 1600) many of which came from various sources, the colour values are very similar and they all blend together throughout the book. I think Taschen are to be congratulated on producing (yet again) a stunning looking book that covers the subject so well and anyone involved with craft creativity and design will be pleased to have a copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Huge variety of stylish furniture, 13 Feb 2009

By	Parka (Singapore) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scandinavian Design (Taschen 25) (Hardcover)

Length:: 0:20 Mins

Right at the start is an introduction to Scandinavian design. Included also is a brief history into each of the countries featured in the book, namely Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. It looks at their design influence and trends.

This is an essentially a catalog book which showcase the many designers and their work. They appear alphabetically in the book. Each designer comes with a brief introduction.

There are hundreds of photos in this hardcover book. While this is a product design book, the focus is specifically on furniture. As such, there are lots of tables, chairs, lamps and indoor decorative objects.

There's a great variety of style to look at, although I can't personally distinguish the design differences between countries. It's a great book, recommended more to interior designers, furniture makers and product designers.
