Scandinavian design

Swedish Modern and Scandinavian Design: soft forms, natural materials and the quality of craft in serial production.

The term Swedish Modern was used as early as the New York World's Fair of 1939. After the war Nordic design became a world export, with the exhibition Design in Scandinavia touring North America in 1954–57.

Danish furniture, Finnish glass and Swedish porcelain shared an idea that everyday things can be both beautiful and democratic.
