There is also the design of Nordic classic lamps. The “PH” series lamps of Danish designer Poul Henningsen not only emphasize the elegant shape design, but also integrate humanized lighting into them.
The design of the lampshade fully considers the refraction path of each beam of light to ensure that the light hitting the desktop is soft and uniform, and will not irritate the human eye.
People often ask why a chair or a lamp is so expensive?
The first person to eat crabs risked his life, and the first person to try to design something new also paid unimaginable energy for it.
The final presentation in front of us may be just a small design work, but how many times it has been tempered and forged before it comes out, only the designer himself knows.
“Nordic style first started and became popular in the United States”
Oddly enough, the Nordic style first originated in the United States.
During World War II, a large number of European designers poured into the United States. They got rid of classical design and emphasized modernism and pragmatism. The works they designed also had Nordic characteristics. This style deeply influenced the trend of furniture design after the war.
A well-known person said in the program: Masters come in groups and then leave in groups.
This sentence also applies to the masters who promote the Nordic design style. From the design style of Mid-Century Modern, which was first seen in Nordic style, to the Nordic style we are familiar with, all of them reflect the extraordinary wisdom of the designers.
MCM style
The full name of MCM is Mid-Century Modern, and it is also a modern design style with a little Scandinavian characteristics, which reached its peak in the 1950s.
Slightly different from the Nowadays more simplified Nordic style, relatively dark warm colors such as orange, gray and cyan are used extensively.
During this period, a group of masters appeared. In 1961, a picture of an article in “Playboy” magazine gathered 6 masters and their representative works.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know these designers, we must have seen their works.
Such as Eero Saarinen, he is a Finn-American, a genius architect and designer, we are most familiar with his Womb Chair .
Sitting on it, the body is completely wrapped by the chair, and its comfort level is like returning to the mother’s womb, hence the name of the womb chair.
