Skandinavisches Design: Zwischen Natur und Minimalismus

Hej everyone,

 

once you have experienced Scandinavian design, you know that it is much more than just a style – it is a philosophy.

This design aesthetic has taken the world by storm, and for good reason. Scandinavian design combines minimalism, functionality, and a deep connection to nature in a way that is both timeless and modern. Why is this so special, you might ask?

 

Minimalism: Less is more

 

 


At the heart of Scandinavian design lies minimalism – the credo "less is more." Instead of getting lost in excessive detail, this style focuses on the essentials. Every element has its purpose and place. This simplicity not only conveys calm and clarity, but also celebrates the quality and craftsmanship of each individual piece. At Eklund, you'll find this philosophy reflected in our carefully curated collection. Here, objects aren't just there to be looked at, but to be experienced and felt.

Functionality: Beauty with a purpose

 

 


Another core element of Scandinavian design is functionality. The beauty of an object is meaningless if it is impractical in everyday use. Therefore, Scandinavian design places great emphasis on the harmony of form and function. Our vintage products should not only be aesthetically pleasing but also functional.

Whether it's a Vicke Lindstrand vase that's as elegant as it is useful, or a wooden kitchen accessory that brings the beauty of nature into your everyday life, each piece has its own thoughtful use.

The connection to nature: harmony and sustainability

 

 


Perhaps what most distinguishes Scandinavian design is its close connection to nature. This manifestation is evident in the use of natural materials such as wood , glass , and ceramics , which fill the space with warmth. The designs are inspired by the simple yet majestic Nordic landscape.
