New Scandinavian Design

New Scandinavian Design is an ambitious survey of the creativity and innovation of one of the most energetic design cultures around today. Not to be outshone by the classic furniture that made "Scandinavian design" a catchphrase of the 1950s, today's generation of designers is updating modernism in fresh and unexpected ways. Tweaking the myth of fair-haired citizens producing sober beech furniture, New Scandinavian Design goes "beyond blond" to feature work that is anarchic, conceptual, and playful, while still exhibiting hallmark qualities of honesty and utility. Profiles of each Nordic country and illuminating interviews explore the trends and top products. Well over 400 full-color photographs of contemporary furniture, housewares, textiles, and consumer electronics make this an authoritative overview. Expertly researched and inventively designed, this substantial volume is as commanding and attractive as its subject.

Scandinavian Style

Carlton Books (Editor)
From IKEA home furnishings to Eero Saanin's TWA Terminal at JFK Airport in New York, the natural and simple lines, attention to detail, and concern for the environment that characterize the Scandinavian look have left their mark on both our popular culture and our structural design. This full-color introduction to one of Europe's most influential styles includes silver jewelry-from Georg Jensen to the best young silversmiths-the Egg chair and the Swan sofa, the finest glassware and ceramics, vintage Volvos, state-of-the-art Saabs, and the cutting edge of graphic design. The innovative and practical ideas are inspiring examples of form that perfectly follows function.
