"Nordsterne. Aus dem prall mit Gestaltung aus Dänemark, Finnland, Island, Norwegen und Schweden gefüllten Topf schöpfte der Taschen-Verlag für seinen tollen Schmöker namens "Skandinavisches Design" von Charlotte und Peter Fiell ... Gelegenheiten, entwerferische Spitzenleistungen mit heiter klingenden Namen zu entdecken gibt's dank dieser Bucherscheinung einen ordentlichen Schwung voll mehr ... Dass die Nordeuropäer absolute Superstars in Sachen Gestaltung sind, lässt sich mit Hilfe dieser Publikation felsenfest untermauern ... Ein ganzer Packen detaillierter Adressen ist dem Schmöker - ein Muss für jede kleine und große Designbibliothek - ebenfalls zu finden."Der Standard, WienAustria |

"Design oder nicht sein: Ein Standardwerk zur Gestaltungskunst der Skandinavier ... ob seiner hübsch anzuschauenden Praktikabilität selbst ein Stück skandinavisches Design"Frankfurter Rundschau, Frankfurt am MainGermany |

"This book is immediately appealing - featuring a jacket design in such warm Seventies‘ graphics and colours, you think "sauna" almost immediately. Containing page after page of beautiful products and furniture, in glass, textiles, jewellery and ceramics, the book gives us an insight as to why and how it is that people from Scandinavia are so talented when it comes to the field of design. Vackrare Vardagsvara (Swedish for More beautiful everyday objects) is a long-held credo in these cold climates - take this book and drink a toast to it."Blue Print, LondonUnited Kingdom |

"Buxom blondes, lack of sunshine and abnormally high suicide-rates are not all that Scandinavia has to offer... These Scandis are particularly gifted when it comes to producing their unique brand of remarkable design. The main principal behind this being functionality; here function becomes the key factor in the design and aesthetic attributes of the object. These Nordic standards have come to be admired by the rest of the design world for their beautiful forms and organic simplicity. This book provides an extensive and detailed guide to the many stylistic wonders of Scandinavian design, be it furniture, textiles, jewelry, glass, ceramics, even Eriksson phones and so on... For example, Lego -- a Danish contraction of the words "Leg godt" meaning "play well" -- was invented by carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen in 1932. Including sections on designers such as Arne Jacobsen, Hans Wegner, Finn Juhl, Verner Panton as well as design companies; Artek, Volvo, Saab... as our friends at Taschen would say: 'Scandtastic!'"Kultureflash, LondonUnited Kingdom |
