These Iconic Scandinavian Design Pieces You Must Know

This approach to Scandinavian design originates from countries such as Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Although only the last two are located on the Scandinavian peninsula, all of them share a common flag representing the 'Scandinavian countries', where climate, endless winter nights, and forests stretching to the horizon form their shared foundation. Scandinavian characteristics have significantly influenced the stylistic vocabulary of Scandinavian design, which has been captivating for decades.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Scandinavian design experienced a golden age and was exported beyond its borders. Worn by brilliant designers such as Arne Jacobsen, Vitra Pantone, or Hans Wegner, this Scandinavian design with organic forms and often natural materials began leaving an indelible mark on the world of design and became a vital source of inspiration for international creators.

Despite the era of 'single-use' and the pop art explosion in the 1970s, which at that time sounded like a death sentence for Scandinavian minimalist aesthetics, Scandinavian design managed to rise from the ashes at the beginning of the 21st century. Since then, it has experienced a wonderful revival, promoting hige interiors with flawless walls where iconic furniture pieces sold at affordable prices coexist with iconic furniture from Swedish giant IKEA.
