Reflections on Swedish Interiors by Rhonda Eleish and Edie van Breems Gibbs Smith Publishers, 2013 About the Book A well-designed Swedish room, whether an
antique-filled country home or a contemporary industrial loft
space, has a calm and feel-good quality that literally permeates
the atmosphere. See how some of the most authentic advocates of
Swedish design are using these ideas in their own homes, places
of pure beauty and simplicity. Included are projects by designers
Eleish van Breems, 2Michaels, Liza Laserow, and Jonas Wickman with
a look into the private homes of Barabara Paca and Philip Lloyd of
Preservation Green, Mick Aarestrup and Paula Batali of Lief, Tara
Shaw of Tara Shaw Inc., Jill Dienst of Dienst and Dotter, Ann
Ljungberg and Rajesh Kumar of Just Scandinavian, international
stylist Ingrid Leess, and designers Patricia Fischer of Patricia
Fisher Interiors and Linda Kennedy of Meredith Baxter Home. The
fundamental concepts of Swedish design are in full play at each
location featured and are important qualities to incorporate into a
home-those of functionality, quality of materials, light,
preservation, art, eclecticism, color, sense of place and a deep
reverence for nature. With Forwards by Brad Ford and Keith Granet. | ||
![]() Swedish Interiors by Rhonda Eleish and Edie van Breems Gibbs Smith Publishers, 2007 About the Book Swedish Interiors is the first
book to share the history, progression, and key elements of Swedish
style and how to use it in many different styles of homes. From the
white- and blue-hued images of the familiar Gustavian style to the
gold accents and luxurious patterns found in the Swedish Baroque,
Rococo, and Biedermeier periods, the secret to Swedish design is in
having the confidence to mix old and new while maintaining a clean
and simple aesthetic. It emphasizes light, comfort and elegance and
is found throughout the world, proving its wide appeal and the ease
with which it blends with other design styles. Fourteen houses
across America, all inspired by Swedish style, are profiled showing
that Swedish style is indeed very much at home in America today.
