Why is Scandinavia known for striking bookcases?
Danish, Swedish, Finnish, and Norwegian vintage Scandinavian bookshelves are evocative of the mid-century teak-fuelled design movements. Denmark, in particular, was renowned for the Copenhagen School of Industrial Arts and Design. Graduates began creating furniture that shunned the ornate for more simple and organic designs.
Perhaps the most elegant examples are Scandinavian bookcases. Made over sixty years ago, these timeless classics still appear as modern and on-trend today as they did when the flower power movement was emerging. And, by shopping with Vinterior, you can champion sustainability by giving a preloved piece of furniture a second lease of life for decades to come.
