"The strength of Scandinavian design is a natural learning and understanding of everyday needs. During the summer, we need the functional carafe for serving chilled lemonade while in the winter, we need a cosy lamp. The strength of Scandinavian designers is that they have a critical eye for aesthetics and do not leave much up to chance—that brings beauty to the products." - Jens Fager
