About

This exhibition, presenting a range of design, craft, and industrial products from throughout the Nordic region, aims to highlight aspects of Nordic contemporary design in all its forms, and its ubiquitous nature in daily life. The exhibition focuses on craftsmanship and the relationship of Nordic design to nature, technology, and heritage by showing works from close to 30 designers. The history of Nordic design is that of strength and rebellion, and historical overtones and appreciation of heritage strongly color today's Nordic design. Technological innovations, truth to materials, and functionalism in Nordic design has its roots in the early 20th century modernism. Nordic contemporary design is still affected, and rooted in, the modernistic ideal of design working to improve people's everyday life by making it more functional, more beautiful, and simpler.
