Nothing could be lovelier than a traditional Swedish table or a decoratively shaped mirror frame. Their balanced forms and simple finish have a timeless elegance that suits both modern and traditional homes. The 35 woodworking projects in this book come directly from Sweden’s past, and the original pieces can be seen in famous Swedish museums. Many of the pieces evoke familiar early American styles, but with a distinctive Swedish touch. The projects include small and easy-to-make things such as a plate rack, child’s stool, tray, and simple cutting boards. Others are larger and more challenging, like the stepladder. Each piece is photographed and every detail is accuarately described. Step-by step instructions and expertly drawn how-to diagrams are given for every project. There are also instructions for traditional Swedish finishing, painting and staining methods.

In this book Bruno Mathsson is portrayed by three authors. Dag Widman explores the person Bruno Mathsson, as well as furniture designer. Karin Winter discusses his buildings, searches for his sources of inspiration, compares plan types, identifies the different building materials, and encapsulates his glasshouse architecture in the term “the Mathsson concept.” Nina Stritzler-Levine writes about his exceptional reception in the United States - starting from the moment when Edgar Kaufmann Jr. noticed him at the Paris World’s Fair in 1937, an encounter that led to his furniture being placed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. A beautiful book on the most important furniture designer Sweden has ever produced.

This book follows Panton from his childhood and youth on Funen and through five decades as a concept creator, designer and architect. It is visible in his works that the concepts and ideas are born in a brief, happy and shining moment but their roots may take decades to form. He also emphasizes how important the client or manufacturer is to the final result. The book is based on 20 years of conversations and friendship with Panton. Here is a master at celebrating life with playfulness and the joy of life as the driving forces.
