Is Scandi furniture destroying British style?
Have we reached peak Scandi furniture? Laurence Llewelyn Bowen thinks so. Laurence laments the blonde and bland Scandinavian design that has dislodged pattern, antiquity and a tradition of elaborate decoration from British homes. In stripping our homes of decoration, Laurence worries that we are not only selling ourselves short but contributing to the death of British style.
First broadcast on Less Is Less: Why Scandinavian Design Leaves Me Cold, 13 May 2017.
