Nordic Style: Warm & Welcoming Scandinavian Interiors

by Chris Van Uffelen

In almost no other European region the connection between nature and design is as pronounced and at the same time as varied as in the Scandinavian countries. The rugged wilderness and dark days require comfortable interiors with warm colors; while lovely landscape scenarios and long mid-summer nights are juxtaposed to functional-minimalist and timeless design. This title presents the impressive wealth of Scandinavian interiors, locally inspired and international successful. It shows for example how designers rely on the tradition of using local materials and natural shapes which they apply in a successful mix, often with current building technologies, to develop design concepts that make the Nordic style so popular and unique.

I had 14 markers in place by the time I finished reading this copy completely. Markers of plans or views or art or compositions of buildings that deserved a second, third or fourth look. The variety of spaces in this select Nordic themed book seem to be a fount of ideas and a touch stone for me at this time. There is a certain leanness in design, but still warmth that I found appealing and timeless.
I typically just browse through these books, admiring the idea of theme without relating all that much. But this book was different.
It demanded second looks, further thought and contemplation.
A nice collection and a nice book.
