Scandinavia Style

2025-08-13 16:21:39

In the 1920s, influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement and the Art Nouveau Movement, functionalism began to dominate in Nordic design. The Nordic style, characterized by simple lines, natural materials, the pursuit of unity between form and energy, and the appreciation of handicrafts, precisely met the trends of the art movements and people's preferences at that time. Therefore, in the 1900s, Nordic-designed furniture exhibited at the Paris Exposition had received widespread attention. Later, it expanded to the American and Canadian markets and became popular worldwide. This is the Scandinavian design style.

Scandinavian design style refers to a design style that was popular internationally from the 1930s to the 1950s, represented by the designs of Nordic countries such as Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway. As early as the Stockholm Fair in 1930, Scandinavian design integrated the rigorous functionalism of Germany with humanism in the local handicraft tradition. In terms of style, Scandinavian design is functionalist, but not as strict and dogmatic as it was in the 1930s. The geometric forms have been softened, and the edges and corners have been smoothed into S-shaped curves or wavy lines, often described as "organic shapes", making the forms more human and lively. In the 1940s, the sense of nostalgia that emerged to reflect national characteristics often demonstrated the simplicity of the countryside, which promoted this trend of softening. The primary colors advocated by early functionalism were also replaced by gradually harmonized colors in the 1940s. Rougher textures and natural materials were favored by designers. In the 1950s, Scandinavian design was at its peak. Its simple yet organic forms, along with its natural colors and textures, were highly favored internationally and became the most popular design style in Europe and America at that time. White is the basic color of Scandinavian style. In addition, it should be paired with simple yet intense colors, such as red, blue or light purple. Wooden furniture is the most important part of the Scandinavian style.
