Covering the 1960s and 1970s, this volume explores new ways of
investigating, comparing and interpreting the different domains of
design culture across the Nordic countries. Challenging the
traditional narrative, this volume argues that the roots of the
most prominent features of Nordic design's contemporary
significance are not to be found amongst the objects for the home
collectively branded as 'Scandinavian Design' to great acclaim in
the 1950s, but in the discourses, institutions and practices formed
in the aftermath of that oft-told success story, during the
turbulent period between 1960 and 1980. This is achieved by
employing multidisciplinary approaches to connect the domains of
industrial production, marketing, consumption, public institutions,
design educations, trade journals as well as public debates and
civic initiatives forming a design culture. This book makes a
significant contribution to current, international agendas of
historiographical critique focusing on transnational relations and
the deconstruction of national design histories. This book will be
of interest to scholars in design, design history and Scandinavian
studies. The Open Access version of this book, available at
