Which Nordic countries are home to the design movement to which also the art of the artist Alvar Aalto belongs to?
Scandinavian design Scandinavian design is a design movement characterized by simplicity, minimalism and functionality that emerged in the 1950s in the five Nordic countries of Finland, Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Denmark. While the term Scandinavia only refers to the three kingdoms of Denmark, Sweden and Norway, it is often used colloquially to refer to all five of these countries.
Nordicom The Nordic Information Centre for Media and Communication Research (NORDICOM) is a cooperate venture including the five countries of the Nordic Region – Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Starting from academic research, Nordicom collects and adapts knowledge, mediating it to various user groups in the Nordic region, Europe and elsewhere in the world. Weaving and supporting networks of collaboration between the Nordic research communities and researchers abroad is a prime facet of the Nordicom work. The activities are characterized by three main working areas.
