{"product_id":"transnational-discourses-in-nordic-design","title":"Transnational Discourses in Nordic Design","description":"\u003cp\u003eChallenging the stereotypes of Scandinavian design, these essays explore design  in Denmark, Norway and Sweden and assess the different roles that Finland  and the wider Nordic region had in forming an image of Scandinavian design  throughout the world. By examining the legacy of Nordic design and its global  impact, editors Astrid Skjerven and Rachel Gotlieb shed light on the development  of national and regional design identities and their historical associations. Authors  investigate the transnational circulation of ideas throughout the later 20th century  and consider the influences on design practices, production and consumerism.  They look at how different countries negotiated and promoted Nordic branding  and ideology, and offer new perspectives on design in relation to sustainability,  changing economies and indigenous traditions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA range of leading international scholars evaluate the popularity of Nordic style  in Soviet material culture, the influence on jewellery design in post-war Britain, the impact of national design conferences, exhibitions, and education in Europe,  the USA, Canada and Japan. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing from a wealth of archival material and interviews with designers, makers  and other stakeholders, this book reveals a lesser-known history of cross-cultural  collaborations, exhibition production and tensions between mainstream and  indigenous design in Scandinavia. Transnational Discourses in Nordic Design also provides an insight into some of the authors’ own design practices and  reveals the challenges facing Nordic designers today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54229151547736,"sku":"9781350249202","price":97.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350249202.jpg?v=1770879627","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/transnational-discourses-in-nordic-design","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
