It is published in concert with the big exhibition Scandinavian Design Beyond the Myth , sponsored by the Nordic Council of Ministers for the 50th anniversary of Scandinavian Design . The icons of Modern Scandinavian are shown, along with the latest interpretations of the concept by young designers from the five Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
