1. First, let’s take a look at SLIM profiles. This also reminds me of the new iMac that just launched – Apple was very focused this time on making their iMacs extremely slim so the profile is nearly non-existent. Slim profiles are important in many Scandinavian design objects as well. Often mirrors are frameless and slim, or if frames they are very elegant and slim…. Slim legs on tables, lighting, and so forth.
Of course, not everything has a slim profile, there are plenty of chunky sofas and vases, etc. However, I’m sure you can imagine examples of many Scandi brands that carry lovely things that are light in appearance, almost seem to be floating, because the legs are slim and barely noticeable (for instance on plant stands, coffee tables, and sofas). I would say that slim legs on a sofa (or none at all) are a hallmark of modern Danish design, for instance.
