Designing Modern Norway: A History of Design Discourse

摘要

Since the 1990s, a Scandinavian revival has captivated the design world, invigorating the market for mid-century furnishings and transforming local traditions like hygge, the Danish concept of coziness, into global style trends. Though Scandinavian design refers to design from Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway and, more recently, Iceland, design from Norway has often been overshadowed by that of its Nordic compatriots. Kjetil Fallan's new book. Designing Modern Norway: A History of Design Discourse, rectifies this by shining a spotlight on Norwegian design culture.
