Nordic Art

Scandinavian design solved a specific problem: how to make a room feel warm when there is very little daylight for half the year. The answers were pale timber, restrained colour, honest materials and forms simple enough not to tire the eye. Those principles travel, which is why Nordic work suits a British winter as well as a Swedish one.

The range is built around that palette. Pale and limed timber leads, with mixed media, cast acrylic, woven leather and sandstone behind it. White dominates, with soft blue, sage green and grey running through, and almost nothing loud. Nine in ten pieces stand proud of the wall, because texture is how this style creates interest without adding colour. Browse by material in wood wall art.

The work is mostly abstract with a strong geometric strand, and there is more figurative and botanical content here than in our other style ranges, along with a distinct playful element that makes this the one collection with a real presence in childrens rooms. See the quieter neighbouring styles in wabi sabi art and Zen art, and the wider dimensional range in 3D wall art.

Scale is more modest here than elsewhere in our catalogue, which is true to the style: most pieces run 80cm or under and sets of smaller panels are common. That suits the rooms Nordic design was made for, where a wall is shared with a window and furniture rather than standing empty. For larger statement pieces in a similar spirit see organic art.

Every piece we make is handcrafted to order by our artists, designed in Birmingham and made in our worldwide studios. Standard production takes around three to four weeks, and we offer free worldwide shipping. Get in touch if you would like help composing a group of panels for a wall.
