1 Nordic Modern Furniture Design School Overview
The so-called Nordic design school, mainly refers to Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland in Northern Europe, Denmark, Sweden, Finland. Pure, washed, and simple Nordic Modern design, the basic spirit is: to seek functionality, design people-oriented. The Modern Design Style of Nordic, started in the early 20th century, has been developed to today, and is one of the most influential design style genres in the world. The Nordic School has three protagonists act as flagship during different development periods. Sweden is the most famous in the 1930s, and the Danish is the most in the 1960s, and Finland has emerged in this century. It is actually unique in every era. Contribution, only in the leadership of avant-gardes after the 1960s.
Humanitarian design ideas, functional design methods, combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology, quiet and natural Nordic modern lifestyle, these are the source of Nordic design. The concept of "style is life" is everywhere. Scandinavian furniture is currently welcomed and valued from all over the world. The most important reason is that it meets the requirements of modern lifestyle on furniture. The appearance of the furniture is not strictly following fashion, but does not bring any existing ideas or biases, which is completely to meet the needs of our era. Scandinavian furniture is practical, rigorous, modest, considering thoughtful and elegant, can naturally integrate into the surrounding environment. Nordic's today's furniture production has been fully capable of meeting extensive and very different tastes and needs. From the historic handmade wooden furniture to industrial production, it is characteristic, and there are features. The diverse expression of furniture species reflects the inner subtle differences dedicated to giving people's personal freedom, which avoids the binding of serious violations of personalized lifestyle.
The Nordic style is called the world, and the well affects the later "minimalism", "postmodern" and other styles. In the "Industrial Design" wave of the 20th century, the conciseness of the Nordic style is pushed to the extreme. Reflected in the architectural indoor design, the interior top, wall, six faces, completely free of texture and pattern decoration, only lines, color blocks to distinguish embellishment. This style is reflected in furniture, producing a Nordic furniture that is completely not used. In fact, furniture products are also a variety of forms. If they have something in common, they must be simple, direct, functionalized and close to nature, but must not be confused. Nordic furniture is generally considered to be a modern furniture. Some furniture critics have been summarized as: "Nordic furniture shows the modes of form and decoration, respect for traditional value, the preference of natural materials, the unity of forms and functions, the high-quality," for a century, Nordic since the century Furniture design masters and designers have continued three generations, but the new generation of passes always adhere to this design route, and more perfectly developed this route, making Nordic furniture a world furniture treasure.
2 Characteristics of Nordic Furniture Design
Although the four countries in Northern Europe have different differences in political, cultural, language and traditionally, they have similar industrialization processes and common attitudes to tradition and modernity, which keep them unified in furniture design characteristics and works together. Design road.
2.1 When European modern furniture has emerged, although the function is reasonable, the price can also be spaced for most people, but in the shape, a simple geometry is used, forming a simple rigor and indifferent feeling, this The furniture makes people disgusting, which is suspected whether modern furniture can be accepted. When the Northern European Furniture met with the world in the 1900 Paris Expo, it was a sensation in the design community in the design community in the design session, making the criticism of the critics to make the criticism. Why is the Nordic furniture so unique? We consider not more than the following five factors:
2.1.1 Family atmosphere Northern European Siki is close to the Arctic Circle, the winter is long, and there is still a long night. Due to climate characteristics, people are often intended at home, so the concept of "home" is more attaches great importance to people in other countries, and the "home's atmosphere" has been found more than other countries. Therefore, it is soaked in the design of Nordic from residential, indoor, furniture, furnishings, and household items. 2.1.2 The modernization of traditional northern European furniture, which has devoted their traditional national characteristics and traditional style, rather than radical, so it is easy to accept the people and even the people of the country and even people who are kind and acceptable. Northern European modern furniture with national tradition and colorful.
2.1.3 Natural Materials Nordic people love natural materials, in addition to preference, natural materials such as leather, vine, cotton fabrics are given new life. In the 1950s, Northern Europe also made a classic furniture with chrome-plated steel pipes, ABS, fiberglass and other materials, but overall natural materials were one of the reasons why Nordic furniture.
2.1.4 While handling mechanical processing in modern furniture, some furniture also use craftsmanship, which is one of the reasons why Nordic furniture is difficult to imitate. The craftsmanship reflects human feelings in modern furniture.
2.1.5 Simple Model Nordic design is designed according to the original tradition and is modern. Danish designer Kay Budjusen once said, "Let the line bring a smile", the truth of the northern European furniture. The furniture in the four countries of Nordic is the mainstream style of modern design - minimalism. The main spirit of minimalism is to abandon cumbersome, admire simple, emphasize the essence, pay attention to function.
In short, Nordic furniture is a reform of a steady and analytical attitude towards design. This helps Northern establish both modern, and people.
2.2 Originality Nordic Furniture advocates the original spirit, and some of their creeds with horizontal designers are "do not repeat their own works, don't copy the work of others", and even new designs, new ideas are endless. These original, often not limited to the shape of shape, and more is a new modeling of innovation and structural methods of materials. Some innovative projects in this area have contributed to world furniture.
2.3 Do not follow the windspeeding of the North Europe, another common feature is to lock your design style and design route, and any external interference is not shaken. Furniture designers in Nordic, are reluctant to be controlled by the control of the genre ideology, not willing to swim with the wind, full of confidence, insist on their respective design routes and style.
2.4 Ecological Northern European four countries pay attention to ecological environmental protection work, in Europe, it is more prominent, and the first furniture and ecological standards are promulgated in 1994 - "Ecological Sign of Wood Furniture and Furniture". Their furniture products are also ecological. For many furniture designers, ecological environment has become a major trend in modern furniture design, and it is a lasting trend. Several elements of ecological furniture design: materials, energy, durable, traditional crafts.
2.5 A group of architects in the early 20th century, according to the residents' requirements, start designing their own national traditional daily furniture. From this period, the design and production of furniture gradually embarked on the scientific track.
Nordic four countries attach great importance to the scientific research of furniture, they have their own research institutions, some designers, architects' design institutions, also have research work, from functional, construction, shape, scale, and materials have been scientific research work, Guarantee the quality of design. With exports, Swedish furniture has "Use Guide" prepared for consumers. The findings also help manufacturers improve production technology, which is an excellent textbook for design schools and furniture design training class. In addition to Sweden, other three countries have similar research units and research work. There is also a furniture test center with the research unit, specializing in the intensity and durability test of furniture materials, hand technology, structures, construction, surface treatment. In the scientific nature of furniture, ergonomic research is an important means of improving the quality of furniture. Furniture, especially sitting, and its function is mainly comfortable, ergonomics research on the seats will make the seats to comfort and meet human health. Furniture designers in Northern Europe attach importance to the study of ergonomics, and is applied to their respective furniture design.
2.6 The product characteristics of the industrialized Northern Europe is a relatively small variety of batch, so it is more frequent to replace the production. Their industrial circuit uses a small mechanical, divided time-to-order, implementation of the policy of "boat." Increase the efficiency, guarantee quality, and adapt to the requirements of the variety. The research of the four countries of Nordic's industrialization has been deeply popular, and their furniture processing machinery is also very popular internationally.
3 Several unique factors formed by Nordic Furniture Design School
The development of furniture in Northern Europe is a world-famous, and its furniture industry's development of industry associations, the cultivation of designers, exports and methods of exports and operations are not open.
3.1 Industry Association began, the furniture industry and craftsmanship in the four countries of Northern Europe were greatly influenced by Moris and Germany Walker Pome. The artist and theorist of Nordic similar organization spread their thoughts. These organizations have been trusted by consumers, manufacturers and government departments, so they can make an important contribution to the route principles of furniture design. The Swedish Industrial Design Association was established in 1845 and is the earliest art and crafts in the world. Finnish Hand Process and Design Association was established in 1875. Danish Hand Process and Art Industry Design Association was established in 1907. Norwegian Crafts and Art Industry Design Association was established in 1918. At this time, the first World War I just ended, they criticized and praised the manufacturer, organize furniture designers and manufacturers to meet, publish books magazines, organize exhibition seminars and organizational learning, while equally important Organize international exchanges and cooperation. In the 23ri-year 1990s, these organizations were committed to improving their lives. The slogan at the time was "Let the daily household products become more beautiful". At the same time, they hold international exhibitions to make Nordic furniture famous world. For example, before, in 1900, in the Paris Expo, North European furniture was first met with European countries, and got consumers. As early as 1976, the Industry Association organized the "Swedish Furniture Exhibition" to show in Beijing, causing a sensation. In 1985, the Industry Association of Northern Europe (including Iceland), jointly created Scandinavian design alliance, making five countries in design business in designing a solid foundation. Transnational activities in the Alliance Organization, such as exhibition, publishing, academic exchange, etc. . The Alliance also signed contracts with the European Economic Alliance design network, and cooperates to launch a variety of sales and academic activities. These international exhibitions work, so that the world understands Northern Europe, also enables Nordic to understand the world, and they understand the needs of foreign markets from the international exhibition, raw materials, new materials, new technologies, and new styles. It has benefited from rich in their furniture design and production.
3.2 Designers' cultivating the development of the four countries of the North Europe is mainly designed, and the design achievements are the line, methods and systems of their unique cultivator. They have a variety of methods and many ways. Channel and form a system. 3.2.1 Traditional Teachers and Eas Department of Furniture Design in Northern Europe, have obvious handicraft traces, and their furniture is extremely strong. This is because they pay attention to the method of teachers and apprentices, inheriting the best craftsmanship of Northern Europe and reflects the product design. At the same time, the teacher of the hand technology also created the design master, cultivated youth designers, and spread outstanding craft technology.
3.2.2 Professional cultivation of higher education is one of the important education methods of Nordic furniture design. Many masters have been higher education, but also teachers in higher education. They have taught students with their own understanding and expression of their own design, and always keep the Nordic design talents. In this regard, Finland is very representative, the Academy of Arts is the design and education center of Nordic, with a unique educational system to cultivate talents in Nordic. There are three main features: the understanding of the design history, the attention of the production process, the cultivation of design innovation.
3.2.3 Design Affairs The cultivation of designers in Nordic and designers have their own design services. While accepting the commissioned design tasks, there are also cultivated designers' tasks, university students can be cultivated in design services. There are two forms of young college students to participate in things: First, the design tasks of students and design masters to complete the firm (often furniture products). This form allows students to learn more directly to get along with the design, more direct understanding of the master's academic perspectives, design ideas and production methods, and have a big help to students' growth. Second, the students complete their work under the guidance of the master of the firm. Although this form is relatively slow, the company's design masters will give students a large design space, and cultivate independent design capabilities.
3.2.4 Factory training designers' design works in the factory should pass the test of material properties, testing process, testing of furniture structure, and testing test. These tests pass to truly become products. These knowledge can only be learned in the factory, and the factory will give the designer's unexpected inspiration. The designer relies on the factory, putting the factory as a place of learning, work, achievements, and measuring the design value reflected in the design value. The factory relies on designer design products and also explores designs. Nordic design masters and designers often serve the manufacturers, their cooperation has played a very important role in promoting the development of the Nordic furniture industry.
3.2.5 The role of "Design Award" Northern Europe often holds youth works exhibition, exhibits the latest works of young designers, on the one hand, ask consumers or experts, and find factories that are willing to cooperate, Make the work into a product. Sometimes organizing a proposition design competition, after the assessment of the judges, we will send a prize to excellent works. There is also a design award named celebrity, Master, such as the Scandinavian Design Award - Lunnng Prize and the Swedish Design Master Bruo Ma. Pine Bruno Masson Award. These exhibitions, comments, competitions, selection, awards, etc. are all opportunities for youth designers to emerge. It also gives them to support encouragement and cultivation, and many major masters of modernity are pushed forward through this approach.
3.3 Export and business method Nordic four countries are small countries, with a total population of more than 2,300 million, each country is only a few million people, and the furniture consumption is not very large. But their furniture color and variety must be a lot, and the room for choice can be large. In order to reduce cost production, the batch is relatively large. The only way to solve the contradiction between bulk, multi-cost and low cost is the export of furniture, and put the entire Europe (later to North America) as their market. In this case, the export has greatly exceeded the share of domestic sales in Northern Europe, so their business management is actually an economic management system sold abroad. In addition to normal exports, they all have foreign sales companies, selling their own products and other few countries. They have a unique economic management method, which has achieved great success. Northern European furniture has become an international famous design school has been nearly a century, and the reason why Nordic furniture design will quickly be seen as a world trend, one of the key Factors, a large number of furniture companies have developed rapid growth in the 19th century European industrial revolution, and developed into a famous brand company that leads the design trend. From Denmark's 100-year old company Fritz Hansen, Fritz Hansen, from the world's first Swedish IKEA Home International Group (IKEA), from Artek in the 1930s, Artek to the 1980s Avade, from the Swedish David Design Group represented by Nordic David Design Group to Finland's "Snowcrash", I have access to the 21st century, I found the furniture company of the North Europe, Jiangshan.
