It's something a lot of designers have forgotten. It's refreshing that they designed without their ego. Not like some of the other over the top designs that say "I'm so clever and so creative - look how amazing and different I can be!" We are bombarded by visual material all day - it's a break from that. And remember how hard it is to make something seem so effortless. I love the art of restraint here!

Seems to have been mostly hardship, bad porridge and lack of opportunities to me. I don’t get the appeal of 19th century Scandinavian peasantry.
