   I've seen a book advertised but don't recall the name, I will try to find it. Should have purchased it because I also like that style.

   Greylensman,

   Here are two books I bought at Scandinavia House in NYC last year.

   "Danish Chairs" by Noritsugu Oda, Chronicle Books, San Francisco and "Design Directory Scandinavia," by Bernd Polster, Universe Publishing (Rizzoli International).

   These are not "how-to" books, but have extensive examples of Scandinavian furniture design.

   Scandinavia House, The Nordic Center, http://www.scandinaviahouse.org, [email protected], at 58 Park Avenue, 212-879-9779 is a center for Scandinavian design and activity. They have an extensive library and bookstore (212-847-9737).

   I have colected periodicals regularly including "Living Architercture - Scandinavian Design," Living Archetecture ApS, PO Box 2076, Vestergade 8, 1456 Copenhagen, Denmark, http://www.livingarch.com/LivingArch/LivingArchHTML.nsf/HTML/home.htm

   and "Design from Scandinavia," World Pictures APS 8, Martinsvej, DK 1926 Copenhagen V, Denmark.

   Do a Google search. There are hundreds of sites about Scandinavian design and furniture.

   Grey,

   I also am partial to scandinavian furniture but don't have a source for plans. Some of the differences I've found between other European or American furniture is they often flush the legs to the side or fronts and use rounded over edges (full and oval round overs) to give a graceful, modern look.

   Check out Dansk Møbelkunst, a gallery that focus' on Danish design:

   I really like the desk designed by Tove & Edvard Kindt-Larsen and built by Gustav Bertelsen.

   I've heard of a guy named Larsen (go figure) but haven't found any good photos of his work.
