By “Scandinavian” means the entire Nordic region ( Finland – Sweden – Denmark – Norway and Iceland ) that is known for its design from the 30’s, in creating common everyday objects (lighting, furniture, kitchen utensils …) modern, beautiful, functional and cheap.

This creative ferment that will live its heyday in the 50s and 60s, will hatch beautiful pieces of design become iconic and the advent of masters of engineering as Verner Panton (and its seats plastic), Alvar Aalto (and his Savoy vase) Arne Jacobsen (and his chair Egg Chair in others) elliel and Eero Saarineen (and chair Knoll) Hans Wagner , Louis Poulseul (and fixtures) and Marimekko (and its tissues printed), to name a few.

These creations all meet the same criteria of clarity, simplicity, comfort, beauty and ecology (natural furniture, crude and renewable materials, elements * DIY made from Recycling ‘).

To make a Scandinavian look to your house, so remember:
