Summary Presents the development of design in the Scandinavian countries: Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Written by leading authorities from each of the countries, the text traces the course of Scandinavian designs over the past thirty years, from its origins to its current world-wide pre-eminence in home decoration. Then follows the major section of the book with 500 fully captioned photographs illustrating the areas in which Scandinavian design has excelled, wood, textiles, glass, ceramics, and metal. The final section is a biographical dictionary which describes the artists who have been most influential in the development of Scandinavian design. Includes index.
