Minimalist nordic style
The use of Scandinavian design to represent a design style stems from a series of exhibitions.
From 1954 to 1957, several traveling exhibitions of Nordic style furniture were held in the United States and Canada, and the name of the exhibition was “Design in Scandinavia”.

These exhibitions showed the Scandinavian way of life to the world, which also clarified the design elements of Nordic style, without too much decoration, simple lines, strong practicality and so on.
Many Americans are seeing this style of furniture for the first time.
Various design exhibitions throughout the 20th century made Scandinavian style rapidly popular in Europe and North America.
Although there has been a period of silence in the middle, the Nordic style will never be out of date, and it is still one of the favorite design styles of young people in the contemporary era.
Of course, the credit is also due to the design masters. Verner Panton, Arne Jacobsen, Eero Aarnio and other masters have designed many works. Let’s take the classic chair as an example.
Verner Panton, a Danish designer, who designed the Panton Chair (Panton Chair) that year can be said to be a sensational representative work of Nordic style, the first chair that is molded with plastic at one time.
