There are companies with names like "Nordic Design." I don't know anything about them. In the United States, the usual phrase for the furniture style is not "Nordic design," but "Scandinavian design." (When I was a kid in the 1950s it was called "Swedish Modern.") This style of design became very popular in the United States in the late 1960s and 1970s and has continued to be popular ever since. It used to be considered stylish, expensive, and big-city sophisticated. The average American might have considered it a little highfalutin and preferred something more traditionally "American." In many areas of the United States, including the area I live in, the chain IKEA has become hugely successful. We bought a bathroom cabinet from them recently. People consider IKEA furniture to be practical, durable, nice-looking, and inexpensive. However, people joke about the difficulty of assembling it. The all-pictures-no-words instruction sheets are not always easy to follow, and "like assembling IKEA furniture" has become a popular way to describe any frustrating job that's a little longer and harder than you expected. It's unusual for a furniture store to sell food, and people joke about that, too. Digressing... there are some area of the United States that have a high concentration of Swedish-Americans and Norwegian-Americans. During the late 1800s, the companies that had built transcontinental railroads advertised heavily in Scandinavia encouraging them to emigrate and settle in the unpopulated Midwest. There's a silly rhyme Midwestern children recite: "My name is Yon Yonson [i.e. "John Johnson" with a Swedish accent] I come from Wisconsin. I work in a lumbermill there. Everyone that I meet When I walk down the street, Says "Hello! What's your name?" And I say: My name is Yon Yonson..." (repeat over and over).
