Synopsis
An Elegant Exploration Of The Hugely Influential Simplicity, Beauty, And Functionality Of Nordic Design - Timeless, Yet On Trend From Literature To Food, Lifestyle To Fashion, Cinema To Architecture, Nordic Influence Is Evident Throughout Contemporary Culture. The Red Thread: Nordic Design Celebrates This Deep-rooted Aesthetic, Showcasing The Diversity Of Design From Scandinavia And Finland Via More Than 200 Objects - From Everyday Items To Exquisitely Produced Decorative Glassware, And From Traditional Handmade Textiles To Mass-produced Products Found In Homes Across The Globe. The Title Is Taken From A Metaphor, Common In The Nordic Countries, Of A Shared And Highlighted Characteristic (like A Long Connecting Thread In Woven Material), That Runs Through And Connects Themes, Ideas, Stories, And, In This Case, Design.
