Arne was truly a genius ! There is Arne's series of tableware which even in 2022 look straight like from sci fi movie

[@ScandinavianDesign101]

Yeah, it's really suitable for any sci-fi movie!

Thank you guys!! This video was highly informative and fun 👍

[@styleden22]

I just found your channel and I am enjoying your presentations very much. The fact that I was born in '62 and that I am a wood worker and studied design and silver smithing with a family friend (engineer by trade) helps. Your presentation style and video length are excellent. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Had a chance to visit Scandinavia on three occasions. Loved it!

Hi, We’re so glad you found our channel! Thanks a lot for your kind words, they mean a lot to us! Welcome back to Scandinavia as soon as this darn epidemic is over!

He is remembered for his contribution to architectural functionalism and for the worldwide success he enjoyed with simple well-designed chairs

[@1nstaglancer981]

✌🏼✌🏼 my fave AJs are the Egg, the series 7 with armrests and castors and his oversized outdoor AJ wall light for Louis Poulsen. I wish the Giraffe isn’t the Little Giraffe as what is readily available now because these armchairs are perfect for a Platner dining table IMHO. Thanks so much for this episode. You are well appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ScandinavianDesign101]

Thanks a lot! We're so glad you found it interesting!

[@starmanjesus5679]

you guys rock! well done! love these clips, keep them coming, thank you so much

[@jamiexxjamie]

Thank-you, that was informative and fun. I especially like the music! I have a few Stelton pieces: the salad servers and the salt-pepper-mustard set. I love them. Thanks again! 👏

[@ScandinavianDesign101]

Thank you very much! And glad you like the music, some people seems to find it a bit annoying :) Yeah, the Stelton pieces are really charming with clean and simple lines. We found an old ashtray on a flee market a couple of weeks ago.

[@jamiexxjamie]

@@ScandinavianDesign101 Thanks for the response! ☺ Someone locally is selling one of those Stelton Cylinda revolving ashtrays for $80 CAD. No one smokes anymore in my world so it's hard to justify buying such a relic, but I'm still very tempted. It does look very cool.

[@ScandinavianDesign101]

Agree. We bought it as a small sculpture. It's quite cool with the rotating dome shaped top.

[@jamiexxjamie]

@@ScandinavianDesign101 Don't you think $80 CAD (528 SEK) is too much?

[@ScandinavianDesign101]

It's perhaps a bit much, specially for an ashtray. But it's a cool piece of design and we often find our self buying old ashtrays even though we have no use for them whatsoever. By some reason they often look so unresistingly nice, like small sculptures.

[@deniscunningham1957]

Thank you guys.

[@ScandinavianDesign101]

Yeah, I think the Egg chair is perfect when listening to music.
