Scandinavian MIND, Issue 2 — The Great Tech Infusion (Jacob Felländer)

The second print issue of Scandinavian MIND probes deep into the ways technology is changing our way of living. From everyday objects to epic art installations, from furniture to flying cars.

One of two covers features Isabelle Olsson, arguably one of the most powerful Scandinavian designers today, responsible for all hardware design at Google. We visit Isabelle in her San Francisco home, where she talks about ”rehearsing the future”.

The other cover portrays Jacob Felländer, whose art installations blur the lines between photography, fashion, music, and virtual and augmented reality. For one year, we’ve followed Jacob in quest to create his biggest work yet.

The issue features two major specials. One is about the innovations that are changing our everyday life: nano textiles, solar panels, air purifiers, meditation booths, clothing subscriptions, and much more.

The other focuses on the exponential transformation in mobility, with everything from electric airplanes and self-driving trucks, to hyperloops and futuristic ferries.

Also: interviews with Susanne Najafi, Emma Ridderstad, Robin Douglas Westling, Sofie Allert, Jacob Mühlrad, Alexander Wessely, and much more.
