Its simplicity and balanced, fluid forms evoke the creations of Danish designer and sculptor Isamu Noguchi, whose style is characterized by organic, expressive forms. Stamped BC Mobler. Danish work. Born in the 1930s, Scandinavian design is linked to modernism, a movement marked by functionalism and simplification of form, which it sought to humanize through the use of natural materials such as wood, leather and hemp, and to democratize through the use of innovative techniques that enabled objects to be mass-produced at reasonable prices. The aim of Scandinavian design is to improve everyday life, and many designers have focused on the home and interior decoration. In their work, they maintain a strong relationship with nature, visible in the mix of abstraction and natural forms. The first golden age of Scandinavian design stretched from the 1930s to the 1970s. Its founding fathers (Alvar Aalto, Arne Jacobsen, Hans Wegner, Verner Panton, Maija Isola, etc.) provided the model and corpus of values on which Scandinavian design continues to rely today: durability, functionality, reliability. They also provided less material values such as simplicity, joy, boldness and everyday pleasure, visible in the simple, graphic forms of the new Scandinavian design.
