When Scandinavian design is mentioned, what typically comes to mind? While simple, minimalistic and functional are adjectives often associated with the distinguished design movement, it has also grown to be much more than that over the years. Joni Koro of Nordik Concept and Curio Cavern wants us to understand just that, giving us a clearer picture of what it is.

“Generally speaking, Scandinavian design usually represents clean lines, light structures and incorporates a lot of earthy features, from wood to leather. While people typically perceive it as such, we also have a lot of luxurious pieces, as seen in our brands,” Koro says as he shows us his favorites from Curio Cavern, which includes AYTM’s Circum Round Mirrors and Gubi’s Adnet mirror with its signature buckle strap.
