Scandinavian Modern

Scandinavisch design is een designstroming die gekenmerkt wordt door eenvoud, minimalisme en functionaliteit, die in het begin van de 20e eeuw ontstond en vervolgens in de jaren 1950 tot bloei kwam in de vijf Scandinavische landen: Denemarken, Finland, Noorwegen, Zweden en IJsland.

Scandinavische ontwerpers zijn vooral bekend van huishoudelijke artikelen zoals meubels, textiel, keramiek, lampen en glas, maar Scandinavisch design is uitgebreid tot industrieel design zoals van consumentenelektronica, mobiele telefoons en auto’s.
