Living Nordic - by Chris Van Uffelen (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Nordic Design as a Timeless Source of Inspiration

The design culture of the Nordic countries is celebrated for its harmonious blend of minimalism, coziness, and beauty. Few places in the world approach housing with such intentionality, with architecture and interior design consistently striving to balance tradition and innovation. Whether set in lively cities, idyllic countryside, or exposed to the forces of the sea, Scandinavian home design exemplifies how aesthetics and functionality can complement each other in uniquely compelling ways.
With inspiring examples, this volume offers insights into the vibrant design culture of a region that is globally recognized as a pioneer in sustainable and sophisticated exellence. The editor showcases carefully selected homes that embody the enduring allure of Scandinavian aesthetics- a tribute to the art of creating aesthetically inspiring living spaces that embrace a wide range of lifestyles.
