Nordic interior design has long been celebrated for its clean aestethic, craftsmanship and empathy for human experience. Nordic Designers tracks down this heritage in the most prominent industrial, interior and product designers of the uprising 21st Century. Today, the tradition has taken on forms such as the idea of democratic design and the burgeoning of ecological consciousness. But author David Sokol has also uncovered other, and new, trends in the region. With young star constellations such as Front, intellectual conceit and con ceptuality have taken the upper hand over form-making.
In informal interviews with 59 of the region's best known designers, such as Ilkka Suppanen, Claesson Koivisto Rune, and Monica Förster, David Sokol explores the motives and stories of each designer. Hereby he paints a colorful picture of the importance of sustainable design, the questions of local versus global affinity, and the future of Nordic identity.
