SCANDINAVIAN

Scandinavian design represents a design philosophy that’s characterized by functionality, simplicity, and clean lines. According to its design principles, one should be in harmony with his/her environment, and things should be made to last rather than be replaced. To complement the art of living well, the design philosophy promotes a simple home environment that enhances an unencumbered lifestyle. (Smith Brothers Construction)

NORDIC

The minimalist style of Scandinavian design emerged during the 1930s within the five Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The term “Scandinavian design” originated from a design show with the same name that traveled through the United States and Canada between 1954 and 1957. It promoted simplistic ways of living and showcased various works by Nordic designers. (Smith Brothers Construction)

SCANDINAVIAN - UNENCUMBERED

UNENCUMBERED

The minimalist philosophy emphasized clean lines and simple designs that were inspired by nature and climate to create the Nordic design. It promoted beautiful designs and quality, sustainable products that were affordable and easily accessible to people in all walks of life.  (Smith Brothers Construction)

SCANDINAVIAN - FUNCTIONALISM

FUNCTIONALISM

Combining beauty, simplicity and functionality was uniquely suited to emphasize a number of longstanding Scandinavian design features. First among these was the demand for functionality. The harsh climates of northern Europe, particularly in the winters, had long influenced Scandinavians to prize utility far above decoration and simplicity would follow naturally as part of that equation. (Smith Brothers Construction)

SCANDINAVIAN - SUSTAINABILITY

SUSTAINABILITY

In Scandinavian interiors, there’s always a strong relationship between design elements and nature. It’s often seen in the stark contrast between abstract and natural shapes, as well as hard and soft surfaces and materials. Natural materials like stone, wood, leather and hemp are used sparingly in most home interiors. (Smith Brothers Construction)

SCANDINAVIAN - UTILITARIAN

UTILITARIAN

The main purpose of Scandinavian design is to improve daily life. To accomplish that, designers focused on interior design style with furniture, lighting, textiles, accessories, and everyday utilitarian items like dishes, silverware, cooking utensils and linens. (Smith Brothers Construction)
