- Title
- Scandinavian and Finnish design: exhibitions in Australian galleries, 1962-1976

- Abstract
- The current vogue for Scandinavian design recalls a time when an alternative taste first emerged to challenge the British and American hegemony of local design education, design practice and aesthetics. In Australia in the 1950s and 1960s, a taste for Scandinavian design was evident everywhere: in the blonde and teak timber of local furniture and architectural detailing; in the organic forms of pottery and glassware; and in the strong, simple patterns of fabrics.
