Silver coffee pot (1953),
Sigurd Persson
Persson had an almost
unrivalled ability to handle
metal. He made a big
impact on the history of
design with both his every-
day industrial work and his
exclusive artistic creations.

Flowers and plants along a windowsill and no curtains
typify the Larssons’ ideas on interior decoration.
Chair (1981), Jonas Bohlin
The Concrete chair became the
most remarkable piece of
Swedish furniture design in the
1980s. A graduation project, it
represented a completely new
approach to furniture design.

Bookshelf (1989), John Kandell
Books are placed flat on the Pilaster
bookshelf instead of being stacked
in the usual way. The lines are
simple and typically Scandinavian.
The maker, Källemo, is one of
Sweden’s most unconventional
furniture manufacturers.
Gustavian late 18th-century style elements
have remained a strong feature in Swedish
design through the centuries, and made a
particular comeback in the 1990s.
