The Philosophy of Scandinavian Design

The philospohy of scandinavian design

The Scandinavian design represents a design philosophy that’s characterized by functionality, simplicity, and clean lines. According to its design principles, one should be in harmony with his/her environment, and things should be made to last rather than be replaced. To complement the art of living well, the design philosophy promotes a simple home environment that enhances an unencumbered lifestyle.

Discovering the origins and philosophy of Scandinavian design

The minimalist style of Scandinavian design emerged during the 1930s within the five Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The term “Scandinavian design” originated from a design show with the same name that travelled through the United States and Canada between 1954 and 1957. It promoted simplistic ways of living and showcased various works by Nordic designers. The minimalist philosophy emphasized clean lines and simple designs that were inspired by nature and climate to create the Nordic design. It promoted beautiful designs and quality, sustainable products. Exhibitions showcasing Scandinavian design during the 1950s played an important role in the influence of these design principles in Europe and North America.

The purpose and elements of Scandinavian design: Creating a connection to nature

The main purpose of Scandinavian design is to improve daily life. To accomplish that, designers focused on interior design style with furniture, lighting, textiles, accessories, and everyday utilitarian items like dishes, silverware, cooking utensils and linens. In Scandinavian interiors, there’s always a strong relationship between design elements and nature. It’s often seen in the stark contrast between abstract and natural shapes, as well as hard and soft surfaces and materials. Natural materials like stone, wood, leather and hemp are used sparingly in most home interiors.
