About the Item

"The primary task of this journal is to promote and animate research in the Scandinavian countries. For many years, design history has lacked a forum where this field of study can be discussed. Another important goal is to make the resultsof this research available to readers who do not have a command of the Scandinavian languages, in the hope of promoting a dialogue in a field which itself is not especially large internationally speaking" This is taken from the opening editorial to the first volume. Volume 1 - 115 pages Volume 2 132 pages Volume 3 135 pages Volume 4 123 pages Volume 5 144 pages Each volume includes essays and illustrations - both with colour and black white photographs.

Scandinavian Ceramics Glass in the Twentieth Century (Book)
Located in North Yorkshire, GB
by Jennifer Hawkins Opis This is a comprehensive catalogue of the Scandinavian Ceramics and Glass collection at the V&A, showing comparative material from all four Scandinavian countries.

Earlier, during the 1920s and 1930s Scandinavian designers were establishing influential design concepts, and ceramics and glass production attracted many of the key artists. Masterworks are included: from Alvar Aalto's "Savoy" vase to Tapio Wirkkala...
