Before you start shopping for Scandinavian office furniture, think first about the essence of what characterizes this kind of style. Need a reminder? Here is some practical information: the Scandinavian style was born in the Nordic countries in the early 1930s, but its name only became popular during the 1950s. The essential feature of this style is simplicity and functionality: Scandinavian decoration offers only the bare minimum necessary for life. The design behind this style is that all decorations that have no practical value are a kind of distraction from the point of view of the shape and ergonomics of the furniture.

That’s why it’s understandable that bright colors are not among the priorities of the Scandinavian style. This is even more true for the desks and workspaces that are supposed to allow the people who use them to focus and, therefore, they need to spare them unnecessary distractions. For this reason, the Scandinavian desk is realized, most, often in the natural colors of wood, light or dark, or in black and white. The materials of which it is made are simple and not pretentious: wood, metal and glass.
