Scandinavian design history

The Scandinavian design emerged in the early 20th century and flourished throughout the Nordic countries from the 1930s onwards. In the 1930s, designers Arne Jacobsen from Denmark, Josef Frank from Sweden, Alvar Aalto, and Maija Isola from Finland started producing their work and creating a "golden age of Scandinavian design." 

The Scandinavian design didn't reach international recognition at first, but in the 1950s, it started gaining popularity when Scandinavian designers were awarded by the Lunning Prize between 1951 and 1970.

What is Scandivavian design?

Scandinavian design is minimal with simple lines and combines functionality with beauty. The design shows only the essential elements of the products. The simple lines, clean and minimal approach extends from architecture to electronics, but most commonly, it's used in interior design. Organic and natural materials are often used in Scandinavian design. Wood brings warmth to interior design and is perfect for all interior decorations. House plants, cotton, and wool are also featured in Scandinavian design.

The Scandinavian design harmonizes with one's environment and creates lasting things. Minimalism allows people to bring peace to their homes without being
cold or uninviting.
