Nordique presents a comprehensive look at more than nine decades of Nordic and Scandinavian influence on Canadian craft, design and industrial production.

Emphasising durability and truth to materials, the humanistic integrity of Scandinavian and Nordic Modernism resonated culturally with Canada, such as the iconic functionality of Danish designer Arne Jacobsen and the organic simplicity of renowned Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. Including essays by the much respected architect and theorist George Baird and founding curator of the Design Exchange, Rachel Gotlieb, contributors to Nordique share their substantial insight and expertise into how these influences inspired the development of a particular style and the cultural language of Canadian design.
