From Minimalism to Chinese Style Furniture

For most people who don't know much about the Nordic style, I am afraid that the word "nordic" will naturally lead to IKEA. It is true that the design sense and good quality of IKEA products are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and when it is crazy all over the world, few people know where it comes from-a small city with less than 16,000 people, Almhult, is probably one of the most international "rural areas" in the world, because the city is too small. Don't look at it as a small place, but be aware that it is home to top talents from more than 50 countries. It can be said that Almhult gave birth to IKEA, a world-class design brand, and through its own growth, IKEA has unknowingly changed the city that gave birth to it.

Speaking of IKEA products, I believe that everyone who has been to IKEA will be amazed by the variety of shelves, but do you know how many fixed designers are in the IKEA company? The answer is: 12. This may sound a little incredible, but it really is. Because those big-name independent designers are used to living freely, it is definitely impossible to circle them in a fixed position. Therefore, whenever it decides to release a series of new products, IKEA will not only rely on internal think tanks, Invitations are also sent to those independent designers to get innovation energy from the outside world.

How the Nordic style relates to the simple Chinese style, here you have to mention the Ming-Dynasty furniture.

The famous Danish furniture designer Hans, who took inspiration from the "circle chair" of the Ming Dynasty in China and modernized it, thus designing the Y chair that is now famous internationally. Now in Northern Europe, not only modernized and improved Chinese-style furniture, but also traditional Chinese-style furniture that is full of exotic styles are becoming more and more popular. Large cities such as Copenhagen have some markets that specialize in dealing with this type of Chinese furniture. Although the price is high, sales are very good.

Some Northern European people bought Chinese-style furniture at first only because of curiosity about exotic styles, but after moving them to home, they found that these exotic elements from the East did not conflict with other Nordic-style furniture in their homes. It made them deeply obsessed with the magical charm from the East. Just like most Chinese people love French classical furniture, the expecting for exotic style is not uncommon in every country. These objects that seem to have nothing to do with their own culture can not only make their home more special, but the collision between different styles can also enhance the fun of the space.
