Scandinavian design emerged in the 1950s as a design movement characterised by simple designs, minimalism, functionality, and low-cost mass production. Scandinavian design is seen internationally as a designation for simple and solid elegance. Their minimal ascetic is famous all over the world. Is it the same in web design?

  • What an assimilation of great websites Nikola – we are bombarded with usually seeing what exists within the U.S , it is a refreshing change to step outside of the box and see what lies elsewhere – thank you for presenting us with such an opportunity Nikola . These are all some truly inspirational sites & designs by some exceptionally talented designers – its very difficult to choose a favorite ( although I do have a particular favorite ) I will keep it to myself , because all of these designers are great ! Great article Nikola , now I will have to go and look over every one of them slowly…. :D

  • Designchapel.com / Robert Lindström (Sweden) seems to be missing. He is that one person that really moved the web forward the last decade.
