Scandinavian interior
The countries of Scandinavian Peninsula - Sweden, Norway and, connected with them historically and geographically, Denmark and Finland had similar conditions for architecture development: they have not been under the influence of Roman Empire that allowed them to keep traditional interior.
In view of a geographical originality - the cut up coastal line and set of fiords, each of which was a natural fortress, Scandinavia became a convenient basis of aggressive Normans for attacks on other countries, and subsequently - trade with them. These “kinds of activity” steel remain the cores in development of Scandinavian economy and unique architecture.
The type of furniture, which now refers to Scandinavian, has occurred in 20 - 30th years of the last century and has a great popularity at exhibitions of Europe, in the USA and Canada. Scandinavian interior is well-known for its graceful and easy details of designs from a multilayered tree, basically,- from the beech and an oak trees. Their manufacturing became possible due to new technology of MOF reception, patented by Danish designers. The design of furniture is simple and functional; its elements make modular system and are very simple in assembly. Scandinavian furniture is flexible and convenient for warehousing.
The designers of the Scandinavian countries and Finland prefer the combination of national traditions and search of new functional characteristics. And the traditional love to natural materials, first of all to a tree, is combined with aspiration to use new technologies and new materials of its processing: the chrome plated metals, glass, furnish details, tapestry materials.
In the Scandinavian interiors - Finnish, Norwegian - a lot of a natural tree is used: a floor, walls and even sometimes a ceiling are made of tree. Wooden boards of a floor, scraped in olden time, now are bleached by designers in the special image. And the walls from a tree are usually covered with a thin layer of a translucent paint. In a combination to wooden surfaces walls or separate fragments of walls from a brick or a natural stone are in harmony.
The general color of interiors is usually light and with a lot of warm tones: yellow, milky-white, light terracotta. Probably because of lack of natural sunlight, heat and bright paints in the nature, Scandinavian designers prefer to decorate houses with warm and joyful colors, having created sensation of a bright sunny day behind the window.
