Description
“Scandinavia Dreaming” is a deep dive into the duality of Nordic design, a world where light, open aesthetics coexist with a moodier, sophisticated counterpart. This book unravels the intricate tapestry of contemporary Nordic spaces, showcasing how regional elements like tile-covered roofs and large windows shape a unique design language. It’s a celebration of skilled craftsmanship and the innovative use of traditional materials like tile, wood, glass, and ceramics, brought to life by fresh talents and revered brands.
The book spotlights design powerhouses such as Hay, Ferm Living, and Frama, illustrating their role in infusing Danish design with new warmth and vitality while respecting classic Scandinavian aesthetics. It explores the fusion of art and décor in Finnish home textiles by Klaus Haapeniemi and Kustaa Saksi, and delves into the meticulous revival of forgotten furniture by Copenhagen’s Gubi. Oslo’s Kneip designers bring nature into the narrative through their sculptures, symbolizing the harmonious relationship between Nordic architecture and its environment.
