Scandinavia Design
Scandinavian design emerged in the 1950s in the Scandinavian
countries Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. It is a design movement
characterized by simplicity, minimalism and functionality.
The idea that beautiful and functional everyday objects
should not only be affordable to the wealthy, but to all, is a core theme in
the development of modernism and functionalism. Scandinavian design often makes
use of form-pressed wood, plastics, anodized or enameled aluminum or pressed steel.
The concept of Scandinavian design has been the subject of
many scholarly debates, exhibitions and marketing agendas during the last 50
years, but many of the democratic design ideals that were the central theme of
the movement survived and are reflected in contemporary Scandinavian and
international design.

Danish Design is a style of functionalistic design and
architecture that was developed in mid-20th century. Influenced by the German
Bauhaus school, many Danish designers used the new industrial technologies,
combined with ideas of simplicity and functionalism to design buildings, furniture
and household objects, many of which have become iconic and are still in use
and production.
