What You Probably Don’t Realize About Scandinavian Furniture
The majority of Americans share an idea of Scandinavian furniture that consists of light colors, cubes and sticks, and a complete deficiency of comfort. It could be that lots of us grew up with an IKEA store in the neighborhood, or it’s possible that we visited one extremely austere office with light colored wood furniture and have based our concept of Scandinavian furniture solely on that.
The initial idea that you should certainly educate yourself about is that Scandinavian furniture is nearly always pale. Danish Furniture, especially, employs lots of teak and mahogany, and nearly all upholstered Scandinavian sofas are brightly hued as a rule. Danish Design USA, in particular, sells imported Scandinavian pieces in many kinds of wood, like teak and walnut as well as the predictable maple and white oak. A quick look through any assortment of vintage Scandinavian furnishings from the 50s and 60s will include a significant amount of dark wood furniture. An informal look through IKEA’s internet catalog will furthermore establish that textiles and even laminates and veneers are routinely manufactured in a prism of vivid colors and also some colorful prints.
While the overly-simplified nature of Scandinavian furniture may often highlight the long, straight lines on bookcases and the backs of sofas, you could be surprised to know that the majority of surfaces on this type of furniture, especially those used to support body parts, are formed to hold the human shape. As a result of the concentration on function over appearance, Scandinavian furniture is the first ergonomic furniture.
Even solid wood Scandinavian furnishings are generally really cozy because, as discussed above, the pieces are quite often sculpted to accommodate people quite adequately. A lot of Scandinavian-styled living room pieces, by the way, are usually upholstered to the degree of appearing overstuffed. Obviously, the notion that this kind of furniture is uncomfortable is undoubtedly merely naive, at best. For that matter, it is possible that the average Scandinavian couch could be improved by a little stiffening by British or French standards.
While it’s likely that you were aware of a few of these things by now, truth be told, most Americans have yet to fully understand the selection of style offered in Scandinavian furniture. The many styles, textures and colors out there make the specific pieces appropriate for many kinds of décor, and an entire set of dining room furniture, as an illustration, could easily be accessorized regularly to produce completely new looks.
