Abstract
The specific socio-historical, cultural-anthropological and economic conditions in Scandinavia have
determined the appearance and development of a unique, functional-aesthetic concept of expression through
design, which has established itself, in the overall European hierarchy of design, as a prestigious emanator of
many styles that appeared later on.
In the second half of the 20th century, the intensive development of technology and industry have given rise
to design and visual communication as forms of non-verbal, visual conveyance of attitudes and visions. Such
conjunctural rise of technology and industry, as well as visual communication as a social practice, have
naturally imposed her standards and parameters as a necessary criterion in the evaluation of all forms of
artistic expression that is of visual character, including interior and furniture design. The context of treating a
certain design concept from the aspect of a wider social function must take into account the interactive
relationship between the design and the ambient of its appearance.
