Scandinavian Modern Home

The Scandinavian Modern design movement burst onto the scene in the 1950s with its expressive designs, sensual use of natural materials and organic forms and easy modern style that’s still so popular now (just think of Ikea).

Scandinavian Modern Home (on sale from October) documents the history of the movement, gives a visual A-Z of key Scandinavian homewares and furniture, and shows how the look has been beautifully interpreted in a variety of stylish international homes.

And with practical tips for putting the look together, from spotting classic designers to mixing new and vintage pieces, the book is bound to inspire new fans of this elegant, contemporary look.
