Nordic Home Décor and More ⓠTwo Swedes Launch Scandinavian Design Store Online
Two Swedes, living in Miami, launch NORDICetc.com, Scandinavian design home décor at affordable prices.
Miami, FL (PRWEB via PR Web Direct) May 11, 2006 ⓠAnnouncing the recent launch of NORDICetc.com ⓠScandinavian design home décor online. Founders Petra King and Mats Olsson, two Swedes transplanted to Miami, found it difficult to find well designed Scandinavian household goods at reasonable prices. Both had previous careers in multinational corporations and decided to set up NORDICetc.com, importing unique, affordable Scandinavian goods.
âœWe both have a passion for interior design and we missed the extensive selection available in Sweden. Our objective was to find boutique design companies producing high quality products that hadnâ™t yet reached the US market,â says Petra King, one of the two founders. âœScandinavia is filled with contemporary household goods that everyone can afford and we were surprised to discover how traditional and expensive things were here in comparison.â
