The companion book to Nordic Architects highlights the contemporary talents working in a region that has been famous for product, furniture, and industrial design for decades. In design as in architecture, recent progress has been defined by a clean aesthetic, craftsmanship, and empathy for the human experience. These traditions have pre-empted the latest trends in Western design, such as universal access and the burgeoning of eco-friendly design. But other recent movements, like the emphasis of intellectual conceit over form-making, have caught designers off guard and are fully explored here by Sokol.
