Nordic solutions and inspirations create an aesthetically balanced and traditionally elegant space. Modern and minimalist . Rational but stylish. The world of Scandinavian architecture is a visual vault of grace, understated elegance, function, and tradition.

Artisans fresh from design school breathe new life into the traditional usage of tile, wood, glass, ceramics, and other customarily Nordic materials. Northern Delights Vol.2 tells their story and that of their predecessors: an aesthetic and historic journey through a world of style and heritage. Reading between the sleek lines and delving into the rich traditions: the balanced and stylish aesthetic of Scandinavian architecture inspires global mimicry.
