Finnish Design
Author: Pekka Korvenmaa
Publisher: Victoria & Albert Museum
ISBN: 9781851778126
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Applied art and design have shaped culture and the economy in Finland since the late 19th century. In this process they have become an integral aspect of the identity and international image of the country. This book outlines the evolution of design in Finland from the founding stages of the 1870s to the beginning of the 21st century. It focuses on its main underlying factors -- industries, training and education, culture, designers and products. Design has operated in the tension between art and industry, and continues to do so, belonging to both but never exclusively to either one."--Publisher's description.
