"The period focus, the networked approach, and the comparative, pan-Nordic focus are all much needed. The focus on this period, as a foundational one for still ongoing discussions about consumption and ethics, will ensure this collection contributes to new scholarly directions inside and outside the Nordic countries."

--Charlotte Ashby, Birkbeck, University of London

"[This book] rethinks an important and transformative – yet understudied – period in Nordic design, by focusing on discourses, institutions, and practices. Abounding with remarkable, lesser-known case studies, the book offers a valuable historical account of how these transformative discourses connect to key topics in current design practice: co-designing, design as activism, and design transitions towards a sustainable future."

--Ingrid Halland, The University of Bergen/The Oslo School of Architecture and Design
