it is a simple design and seems to be attractive at the same time.

amazing brand for scandinavian design.

they are really beautiful and worth buying.

i want to see your body.

for me, the core values are functionalism, good design to help humans thrive, available and affordable for all, and minimalistic/simplistic. i am working on a similar school project myself. what are the core values of scandinavian design and where do these stem from (historically and culturally)? when i came across this, i was immediately interested in what results you have found, and i was wondering if you would want to share them with me. you can reach me at [email protected] so we can talk about this some more.

simple, minimalistic design; affordable

i love scandinavian design but would be much more likely to look at it in a museum or shop rather than buy it, as it has a very particular aesthetic that would not necessarily fit with items i already own.

from my perspective, scandinavian design in britain appears to be more expensive but is highly sought after for its quality. for instance, bang & olufsen produces some very expensive sound/video equipment that can be almost double the price of a regular speaker system, such as philips, simply because of its "scandinavian design."

the danish government lacks a long-term plan to market danish design abroad.

sometimes i have the impression that the danes are obsessed with design. they don't just have a carpet or a plaid in their living room; they always know the name and the designer. and though i hear arguments about quality and the like, i can't shake off the feeling that it really is names they buy. while, for example, marimekko and iittala products are something special for many foreigners, in finland i experienced that they were aware of the brand, but that it was not so much an important brand as being fashionable, but being part of normal everyday culture.

i think it is interesting to note the difference in the term scandinavian design - at least what i think of. ikea stands for cheaper scandinavian design, but it is popular all over the world. this is, in part, because of price - but also because they incorporate the simplistic design. in addition to this, scandinavian design is often very pricy - and popular for the brand. in my opinion, ikea has incorporated the luxury of scandinavian design in the previous years; it seems that they focus on better materials etc. and offer slightly higher prices - maybe to catch another segment now that scandinavian luxury design has increased in popularity around the world?

to me, there's a big difference between expensive "design" brands and ikea... maybe it should be more specific which type of brands you mean.

no, i'm sorry about that, but good luck with your research!

i'm an italian architect, and i usually like to keep in touch with scandinavian companies to propose a partnership through one of my designs.

color is used cleverly.

i relate many of their products by material and find that they use pine wood a lot and more recently plastics.

i don't remember the name, but it's a scandinavian children's room design, for small spaces, especially bedrooms with bunk beds and several functions for one piece of furniture, practical, space-saving but still modern and mostly bold design.

i found them very artistic overall, very well thought out and user-friendly.

i must admit that i tend to associate scandinavian design with ikea - i.e. low-cost, well-designed and functional (as well as being sold in massive out-of-town stores, teaming with families and cafeterias selling swedish meatballs!). however, i suspect i am seeing only one side of the story, as ikea is an international firm based on scale and mass-production, admittedly with quite pronounced values in terms of design and principle. i think the other side of the story - authentic local design - would probably be unaffordable in the uk, which is a great shame. the popular appeal of ikea also leads to a contradiction in my perceptions of scandinavian design, because on the one hand i regard scandinavian design as being long-lasting and durable, yet i associate ikea furniture as relatively cheap and easy to dismantle and throw away. i sometimes see scandinavian interiors in books and magazines, and my impression is that what i'm missing is the more mellow and naturalistic elements that do not appear in mass-produced items. it would be fantastic if this level of authenticity could be more readily available in other countries and at mid-market prices. i also hope that other countries can learn from scandinavia and make the most of their native craft traditions to produce high quality and modern furniture with some of the best qualities of scandinavian design.

simple. natural materials, functional, clean lines, natural shapes.

scandinavia is expensive, but once you find a job here, life becomes affordable because salaries are really high!!!
