This book captures a new moment in Scandinavian design that reveals a fresh direction for the future. Whether perceived as indulgent, challenging, edgy or just downright funny, Nordic visuals are not graphics as we know them in the rest of Europe. Characterised by their spontaneous self-expressions, distrust of design templates and their expertise at collaging banal images, the works featured throughout the book are distinguished by their individual styles. Together, the combined works form a unique narrative that places Nordic design in a broader context. That’s not to say that the rest of the world will always understand them, but the beauty and imagination captured on these pages make it worth trying.
