Functional design
The movement saw a large number of exhibitions by national design organizations at the national or local level, and these activities became a major feature of the 1950s. The Annual Scandinavian Design Exhibition rotates between countries and has a wide range of influences. Together with publications and journals, they make a significant contribution to the communication of the design community. Design organizations not only hold exhibitions, they are also important advocates for the field of design, encouraging manufacturers to invest in innovative products

The primary colors favored by early functionalism were replaced by the gradual harmonization of colors in the 1940s, with rougher textures and natural materials favored by designers.
