Scandinavian Modernism

Example: Saint Catherine's College, Oxford

Scandinavian modernism also known as swedish modernism has changed design as we know it today. 
It's philosophy: "Beauty for all" has been carried on by the phenomenon we know as IKEA.
The geometric shapes and clean lines have become a big part of the design style we see today.
The style is functional furniture, natural materials, light wood, white, and accents of color. 

This particular place: Saint Catherine's College shows a great example of scandinavian modernism. In this building they use natural materials and make the space look functional. 

This style of modernism has impacted us tremendously in the design world today.
