Produktbeschreibung
This book highlights the contemporary talents working in a region that is famous for product, furniture, and industrial design. In design, as in architecture, recent progress is defined by a clean aesthetic, craftsmanship, and empathy for the human experience. But other recent movements, like the emphasis of intellectual conceit over form making, have perhaps caught designers off guard. In informal interviews with 60 of the region’s best- known designers, such as Peter Opsvik, Front, and Ilkka Suppanen, writer and editor David Sokol explores the once and future Nordic identity, the exigencies of local manufacturing, and the competitive global marketplace.
