Abstract

The subject of the author’s considerations is the formation of the term “Scandinavian design” and its influence on Polish design from the late 1950s to the present day. The introductory part analyzes the activity of the Finmar company, which after the war was run by Paul Stemann and contributed to the promotion of the term “Scandinavian design” by popularizing the products of the Nordic countries on the markets of Western Europe and the United States. The next part of the text presents the development of cooperation of the Swedish company IKEA with Polish producers and designers, recognizing the activities of Ingvar Kamprad as an important element in the dissemination of Scandinavian furniture style in Poland. As a contemporary continuation of the Scandinavian minimalism in Polish furniture, the activities of two designers were presented: Jadwiga Husarska-Sobina and Tomasz Rygalik, who implemented their projects in cooperation with Paged Meble SA, which currently has the resources of the former Bent Furniture Factory in Jasienica.
