Scandinavian design furniture

Scandinavia has shared many innovations with the rest of the world, including Skype, Spotify and Tetra Pak, but perhaps we are still best known for Scandinavian designer furniture.

Scandinavian design furniture is refined, elegant and understated furniture that can elevate any look in a home, garden or commercial space to a whole other level – hence the increasing popularity among homeowners and businesses.

So where did it all start? The seeds for today's Scandinavian design furniture go back to the Viking Age. However, the 'Scandinavian design movement' actually began in the 20th century and during the 1950s it really captured the imagination of European homeowners, and is still hugely popular today.

The fascination of Scandinavian design furniture is due to its simplicity, minimalism and functionality, which are three characteristics that every home owner can appreciate when choosing their furniture.

But there are many more reasons why more and more people are decorating their homes in Scandinavian style.

Here are just a few:

Neutral color palette

One of the many characteristics of Scandinavian designer furniture and interior design plans is the neutral color palette, designed to maximize light and space. This applies across all types of Scandinavian architecture, interiors and furniture types, including NorthbyNorth's luxurious outdoor furniture, each created with blonde bamboo material and neutral cushions and accessories. Nordic design consists of white, gray and beige colors. These neutral colors make it very easy to mix and match different styles and furniture in any room, patio or garden.

Less is more

Scandinavian furniture has sharp lines and balanced proportions, resulting in it enhancing a space rather than dominating it. It makes a room seem larger than it is. The concept of delivering "less is more"  results in lighter and more spacious rooms.

Timeless design

The aesthetics of Scandinavian design furniture is timeless and consists of well-thought-out understated furniture designed to work together or alone. As previously mentioned, the era of Nordic furniture was established in the 1950s, and unlike other trends that have come and gone such as linoleum flooring, the popularity of Scandinavian design furniture continues to grow.

Quality equals value

High-quality handmade Scandinavian design furniture, especially the high-quality minimalist bamboo outdoor furniture and garden furniture created by NorthbyNorth, is recognized as a good investment for both commercial spaces and private homes. Craftsmanship, the neutral color palette and understated design add value to a space.

Danish Bamboo design furniture

Originally, Scandinavian furniture was made of wood, and this is still the main trend. However, this does not have to be the case. Companies like NorthbyNorth use bamboo for durability, beauty and sustainability. All of NorthbyNorth's handcrafted furniture is created using treated mature bamboo and if properly maintained can last a lifetime.

NorthbyNorth is a strong proponent of Scandinavian design furniture, all series are designed by experienced Danish furniture designers. Our luxury outdoor furniture covers bamboo tables, bamboo chairs, bamboo sunbeds,  bamboo dining tables, ottomans, benches, sofas and much more.
