Les pays scandinaves se distinguent par la synthèse riche et variée qu'ils réalisent entre nature et design. Aux longues nuits d'hiver et à un environnement sauvage répondent des intérieurs confortables dans des tons chauds, tandis qu'un design minimaliste et intemporel va de pair avec des paysages remarquables et les longues soirées d'été. Le présent ouvrage rend compte de la grande diversité du design d'intérieur scandinave, une production d'inspiration locale qui connaît un succès mondial. Il montre en particulier comment les artistes de ces pays savent s'inspirer de la nature et de ses formes et utiliser des matériaux traditionnels en les associant à la technologie moderne afin de créer les concepts qui font l'unicité et le succès du design nordique.

Plante à la croissance particulièrement rapide, le bambou est surtout connu pour être la nourriture de base du grand panda. C'est aussi et surtout un matériau de construction traditionnel dans de nombreux pays d'Asie et d'Amérique du Sud. Les architectes occidentaux, qui l'ont récemment découvert, l'utilisent de plus en plus pour leurs réalisations, et cela tout autant pour ses excellentes propriétés physiques que pour son empreinte carbone particulièrement avantageuse. On trouvera dans cet ouvrage de nombreux exemples illustrant les diverses applications possibles de ce matériau à la fois léger et très résistant, en compétition directe avec le bois, le béton et l'acier. Certaines réalisations sont entièrement en bambou, tandis que d'autres utilisent ce matériau de construction en association avec d'autres.
