Dear Reader

In an attempt to define the aesthetic essence of the Nordic countries and Scandinavia in particular we as Industrial Designers often find ourselves trying to define and understand the distinct feel and spirit surrounding us in our everyday lives. As Danish Designers we feel obligated to follow the traditions of former great Scandinavian designers and architects by grasping the soul of our native country and channel it through our work.

The idea behind this blog was to produce a digital mood board to be used as a part of an on going project at Kolding School of Design. By building a collection of texts and imagery dedicated to the aesthetics of the North, we want to ease the often repetitive, time and money consuming process of constructing tactile inspirational material for each and every project.

As much as we hope that you will benefit from this blog, we encourage everyone to participate in developing this collection by sending us pictures, links, sketches, texts, colours etc.
