Swedish design for life

Visiting Sweden, you’ll find great Swedish design all around you. On buildings, in shops, in hotels, on buses and trains and the clothes that people wear.

Modern Swedish design really took off after the Stockholm International Exhibition of 1930; unveiling to the world the idea of function and form. Swedish form and design is as varied as it is beautiful. From the brightly coloured, folk-art Dalecarlian model horses to Bruno Mathsson’s furniture and Josef Franck’s “Manhattan” textile designs.

Not to be missed when you are in Sweden are the clothing and fashion accessories brands such as WE, Philippa K and J Lindberg.

There is much to celebrate about Swedish form and design, from the ‘Falu red” cottages of Dalarna, to the art glass and crystal of Orrefors. A visit to Sweden will inspire new ideas and you might just find yourself redecorating your home on your return.
