Scandinavian Design Research - Interiors



Lars Bolander’s Scandinavian Design


Themes
  • Wood 
  • Clashing angles
  • Symmetry 
  • Simplicity
  • Natural surroundings
  • Contrast of straight and curved
  • Warm colours
  • Shape based design
  • Blurring the boundary between indoors and outdoors 
  • Geometry
  • Earthy colours
  • Fresh and clean 
  • Sometimes more busy and full
  • Efficient use of space
  • Strong shades of colour
  • Soft hues of colour

It is becoming clear that there seems to be a lot of contrasts in Scandinavian design, some rooms are decorated with strong colours, others are very soft. Some spaces are very angular and structured while others' main features are curves. I am starting to understand the overall aesthetic more I think. This research can also help me when it comes to mocking up my designs onto products, as these products should fit within these interior environments for them to be successful I think.
