    Good spot! You're right, the Eames and one other of these chairs do not originate from Scandinavia. We simply want to find out which of these designs is most synonymous with Scandinavian design. Thanks for getting involved!

    I find modern Scandinavian design too bland.

    Wishbone chair is a good pick. Though Egg chair is more close to Scandinavian design

    The Wishbone chair tops my wish list! Not sure it's comfortable though?

    I've read your earlier comment but how can Eames be considered Scandinavian when they're just not?

    That's just sill. How can Eames evoke Scandinavia ? No Eames is mid century American.

    The butterfly / bat chair is from Argentina if I recall, however the Scandi natural material / minimal clean look does have a lot of influence from the 1940s-60s USA modernist designer era, and seem pretty interchangeable from a style perspective with Scandi these days.

    Timeless clean design, the Egg chair is great inspiration and is re-created in BoConcept in the fantastic (similar) Imola chair

    The wishbone chair personifies everything that's good about Scandinavian design - minimalist clean lines and timeless style.
