Modern Swedish Design: Three Founding Texts
$35.00
Although modern Swedish design has exercised an extraordinary influence on international architecture and interior furnishings since the early twentieth century, some of the crucial generative writings on the subject have not been widely translated, and the movement's intellectual background is not well known.
Details
This book collects three of Swedish design's founding texts for the first time in English. The texts include the promotion of simplicity and clarity of purpose with the goal of social reform, the concept that design should be true to its time and available to all with a call for a modern design language reflecting new materials and methods and the background on the famous Stockholm Exhibition of 1930.
By Lucy Creagh, Helena Kaberg and Barbara Miller Lane
