The name “Modeco” originates from the synthesis of the terminologies “Modernism” and “Art Deco,” two prevailing periods of the 20th century that exerted substantial influence on design and aesthetics. The Modeco design represents a departure from the previous modernistic trend and signifies the emergence of a new era, one where ornamentation is once again valued. Essentially, it is Nordic Tales’ first venture into a novel period of design where ornamentation plays a more significant role.
Modeco is an endeavor to embrace and reintroduce ornamentation and feminine values. In the late 20th century, the modernistic ideology was, to some extent, misinterpreted, and concepts like “less is more” were misconstrued as “cheaper is better.” This view, focused on economic optimization, disregarded the essential human desire for decorative ornamentation.
We hold the conviction that by harmoniously integrating values from both modernism and Art Deco into our creations in the 21st century, we can produce objects that are functional while still addressing the fundamental human need for decoration.
