"What's worth pointing out about the Scandinavian designers of the 50's and 60's is the strong bond between architecture and design. In that respect we try to do the same thing. Design today is international. Perhaps more than ever before. And it resonates around the globe. The Scandinavian design scene of today is full of momentum; full of talent. Hopefully this can inspire other designers in other places."
