Nordic design is associated with furniture and glass, but the Nordic design is much more than this. The Nordic countries have 'produced' a lot of world-famous designers like Alvar Aalto, Arne Jacobsen and Bruno Mathsson with a strong focus on functionality and simplicity.
The Nordic design is democratic
The New Nordic trend is also called democratic design. The concept for the Nordic design was that the prices for the design had to be affordable to the population was able to buy it 40-50 years ago.
The core theme of modernism and functionalism was that the beautiful and functional everyday objects should be affordable for everybody.
Today Nordic-designed products still have got this international image as functional and beautiful designs.
A Swedish company inspired by this design tradition is the big furniture chain IKEA, which often works with young talented Nordic designers. Another example is H&M which also makes their product inspired by this design tradition.
