Scandinavian design emerged in the 1950s in the Scandinavian countries Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. It is a design movement characterized by simplicity, minimalism and functionality. The Lunning Prize, awarded to outstanding Scandinavian designers between 1951 and 1970, was instrumental in both making Scandinavian design a recognized commodity, and in defining the profile of Scandinavian design.
