A pictorial feast, as floral artist Tage Andersen creates fanciful decorations to liven up the season. Though he employs traditional themes, objects, and scenes, his creations are so innovative that they redefine the concept of decorating for the holidays. He consciously blends the sense of familiarity behind the scenes that reappear each year at Christmas, while reinventing them to recreate feelings of expectation and longing for the next holiday season to come. Also, in his narration, he beautifully describes the transition from the spartan atmosphere of Advent to the culmination around Christmas itself, and to the denouement through the New Year. In pictures and in prose, this book is an inspiration to anyone desiring a fresh floral aspect to their holiday season.

Join Snidare as she visits Swedish homes from the last 100 years. We meet architects, artists, wholesalers and families with children. In homes adapted for town life or for summer sojourns, from large villas and apartments to small flats. In all, the author describes over thirty homes created during the 20th century and at the start of the 21st. Each decade has an introductory history of its designers, housing policies and trends. 1960s chipboard furniture, 1940s Bruno Mathsson armchairs, Myran chairs, Stig Lindberg cups and the teenager’s favourite from the 1950s - the bat chair - are all here. As, too, repainted second-hand, designed and minimalistic homes. Each has ideas for homemakers of the 21st century. Be inspired by this generously illustrated book which mirrors the entire 20th century in Scandinavian design - a book full of contemporary history, nostalgia and Swedish design history.

A picture book that captures the splendor of this castle during the 1600s. Stunning photographs display both the beauty of the empty castle rooms while also conjuring the former grandeur of these rooms by including examples of furniture and textiles from that period. Though the furniture was often simple in design, the elaborate textiles and decorative arts offset this simplicity to create a perfectly balanced elegance not to be rivaled elsewhere. This book is intended to complete this picture as the refurnishing of the Läck� Castle has begun with this exhibition. The catalog also includes an inventory of the art belonging to Duke Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie from 1681.

The first comprehensive book in English on Carl and Karin Larsson, whose country home, as meticulously recorded by Carl in a series of beautiful watercolors, established the modern Swedish style. Larsson’s designs gave way to a new approach to interior design that continues to influence designers today. Also, Larsson’s art articulated the Swedish dream: to have a clean and airy, lilac-embowered cottage in the country, in your family’s place of origin.
