Seventy years ago, Scandinavian design began its world conquest. What is the secret of a modern and human-centered, high-quality Northern design world? What cult pieces have come out of the hands of Scandinavian designers over the last seven decades? How does this affect our present and what future does it promise? Among other things, we are looking for answers to these questions at the next InnoConcept Design Talks event.

The founders of InnoConcept – Noémi Péli and András Kollin – are welcoming you in Óbuda, in a special loft environment, in the showroom of InnoConcept Design.

 

Scandinavian design is experiencing its renaissance – we were convinced of this year’s IMM at Cologne’s international furniture fair and the Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair in the Swedish capital.

 

But perhaps it’s even more accurate to talk about having always been there, but nowadays it’s probably more exciting than ever. Scandinavian design meant more than a clean line. It shows the attitude of the people of Northern Europe towards simplicity and respect for nature. Rational thinking for the best solutions. However, a new generation of designers combining tradition with a modern approach and advances in technology have opened a new era in the history of Scandinavian design.

 

Seventy years is a long time. Legendary furniture, lamps, accessories could be recalled from the seven decades. We do not attempt to be complete, but rather to present the features in our presentation. Let’s try to draw the curve of this seventy years right up to the present and even further to the future. To where we should ideally be in 70 years.

 

A cult piece out of many

 

Flemming Lassen designed the The Tired Man armchair in 1935. The designer himself was pleased with the work – rightly so. As he put it, sitting on the armchair feels like a polar bear cub in his mother’s arm in the middle of the ice sheet. The piece, which was quickly popular at the time of its birth, won the prestigious German Designer Grand Prix again almost a century later. The jury emphasized the timeless elegance and cozy atmosphere of the classic armchair. By the way, the prototype was bought in 2014 by a collector for € 190,000 at a Danish auction.
