Sweden. Norway. Denmark. Finland. The four countries that most commonly make up Scandinavia — Europe’s northern region and the source of envy for the rest of the world. Scandinavian culture and design have reigned supreme in North America, including endless articles about hygge, the idea that cozy spaces and activities create a sense of well-being and happiness.
Over its longstanding history, design elements have stayed the same: simple, functional pieces offset by unexpected textures. Lots of natural materials. Always good quality. Scandinavian design in lighting follows the same principles.
