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 Läckö 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.
