5.0 out of 5 stars OWN IT. great book

D.D.W. · September 14, 2017

ONE OF THE BEST! Sadly I do NOT think it is published anymore. I LOVE this book....glad I HAVE IT. It is one of the most inclusive of all the danish style designers from the 30's - mid 60's when MCM for all practical purposes ended. It also goes up to recent times even though I wasn't really interested in more modern danish designs.

L. · April 19, 2014

I like the book. It includes various subject for people who interested in design and like to know its trend in depth. I am very happy with the content. The only problem I have with this book is its text too small, for the portion of each designer's profile, hard to read without wearing my glasses.

プロダクト・デザインの教科書

N. · May 3, 2018

ノキア、ボルボ、マリメッコなど、日本でも一般的なブランドから、名前は知らずとも、インテリア誌やテレビの小道具で、一度は見たことがある名作椅子や照明などなど。過渡期である60~70年代から脈々と受け継がれる、佳いデザイン。その多くが北欧発祥であることを、十二分に伝える1冊。テトラパックって、北欧だったんですね。そういったトリビアも含め、彼の極寒地の、奥深いものづくりの経緯、そして、国全体から湧き出すようなオシャレイメージの源泉を、伺い知ることができます。

Ne sono rimasta molto soddisfatta. Il libro è bello voluminoso, ricco di immagini e di informazioni dettagliate. Mi è piaciuto molto. Anche la copertina fa "stile nordico"

Great guide to mid century objects

S.T. · May 4, 2017

I bought this after accidentally developing a new interest in mid century furniture. Nice book which should be of interest to anyone with a passing interest in this era of products. Lots of good pictures. I now own several pieces of mid century furniture which I love.The only slight criticism I have is that the text is quite small and can be difficult to read.

Buch ist auch schon ein Klassiker

M.W. · August 1, 2021

Es kann auch als gute Basis zum Wissen über Scandinavian Design herangezogen werden, um mit weiteren Quellen sein Wissen über Scandinavian Design auszubauen.Hinweis: Das Buch ist in Englisch!
