The five contries known collectively as Scandinavia were the source of some of the most important furniture designs of the twentieth century and the influential concept of 'Scandinavian modern' Today, a new generation of designers continues that tradition, creating pieces that are functional, comfortable and appealing to look at.

This book - a comprehensive overview of modern design in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden - surveys the history of design in the Nordic nations, and illustrates in full colour more than five hundred of the best current furniture from over seventy producers. It also includes detailed product specifications and sources, biographies of important Nordic designers and a helpful bibliography. It is an invaluable reference for everyone who loves modern furniture, and an essential tool for interior designers, architects, collectors and students with special interest in Scandinavian design.
