Nordic Furniture Month: Elevate your BIM projects with Nordic design

This February, BIMobject celebrates Nordic Furniture Month: a dedicated showcase of the timeless elegance and functional brilliance of Nordic design. Throughout the campaign, we’re highlighting a curated selection of brands on social media and via an exclusive interactive magazine, demonstrating exactly how their design philosophy translates into high-quality, ready-to-use BIM content.

BoConcept has long been shaped by the principles of Danish design — a quiet respect for craftsmanship, honest materials and spaces that feel natural to live in. With the AW25 collection, the brand returns to these foundations, exploring how thoughtful design can bring a sense of calm and balance into everyday life.

Bringing Nordic design into your BIM workflow

With Nordic Furniture Month, we celebrate this philosophy by bridging the gap between iconic aesthetics and digital efficiency. For architects and designers, this campaign is more than a showcase; it is a direct invitation to integrate authentic Nordic soul into your projects. By providing data-rich BIM objects, we ensure that the beauty of a hand-crafted chair or a minimalist lamp is matched by the ease of a seamless digital specification.

A design philosophy rooted in function and feeling

The essence of Nordic design is defined by a "ceremonial" clarity of purpose. Here, even the most utilitarian object is treated with reverence, ensuring that clean lines and honest materials come together to support how people live, work, and interact.

The harmony of form and function

In the Nordics, design follows a "warm minimalist" approach, creating sanctuaries from the frantic pace of modern life. Whether it is a soft seating series designed to encourage collaboration or entryway solutions that frame everyday rituals, these pieces are crafted to be "just right" (lagom). They offer:

  • Refined Proportions: Furniture that fits naturally into both residential and commercial scales.
  • Sensory Textures: Materials that invite users to pause, breathe, and feel at ease.
  • Aesthetic Longevity: Designs that transcend trends to remain relevant for decades.

Sustainability as a standard

A defining characteristic of the Nordic design industry is its proactive approach to environmental responsibility. Rather than just making claims, many Nordic manufacturers prioritize data transparency to help architects meet strict green building standards. A significant number of the brands featured this month provide EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) within their BIM objects. This allows professionals to:

  • Calculate Carbon Footprints: Access verified data on the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle.
  • Specify with Confidence: Choose products backed by rigorous standards, from the use of recycled materials to local manufacturing practices that reduce transport emissions.
  • Support Circularity: Integrate furniture designed for longevity and eventual recycling, supporting a more circular construction industry.

Precision and efficiency: Why BIM matters

While there are many Nordic brands globally, the brands featured in our campaign offer a distinct professional advantage: they are BIM-ready. Instead of spending hours manually modeling a specific designer piece, you can download the exact digital twin. These objects integrate seamlessly into your Revit, ArchiCAD, or SketchUp projects, providing:

  • Speed: Instant integration of high-quality geometry.
  • Accuracy: Precise technical data for lighting, dimensions, and materials.
  • Better Projects: Elevated visualizations that help clients truly "feel" the final space.
