This booklet is published by Finmar Company in England. The company worked in close cooperation with the architect Alvar Aalto and with Oy Artek Ab, which was founded in Helsinki in 1935. The Finnish architect has succeeded in perfecting a method of woodworking especially well adapted to the making of chairs. The chairs are extremely comfortable; they are light and take up very little room. In appearance they are elegant, their flowing lines lending them a personal, modern character. As the chairs are only waxed and polished, the excellent craftmanship can be examined without difficulty. These described chairs, together with other articles of furniture, have been christened Aalto products. This booklet presents pictures of stackable chairs and stools, more comfortable chairs, tables, bookcases, children’s furniture, a desk and Aalto’s famous tea-trolley.

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.

Despite the high level of collector interest in modern Scandinavian art glass, there have been few if any publications devoted exclusively to Swedish glass made from 1930-1970. The author sets forth a concise history of the two major Swedish glass producers during their peak decades, identifies those artists and designs that are of primary importance, and assigns estimated values to these works. The focus of this work is on limited production, “high end” designs, rather than on the commercial output of these firms. The text is illustrated with color photos from the author’s own outstanding collection as well as a number of illustrations supplied by Bo Knutsson Art & Antiques, perhaps Sweden’s leading dealer in the 20th century Swedish glass.

This is the historical outline that begins in 1790 of one of the finest and most exclusive porcelain dinnerwares in the world. Every bit as fascinating is the sublime craftmanship, which has always characterised the service: the finest openwork, the meticulous reproduction of plant anatomy, the detailed gilding and the painstakingly modelled flowers on the handles. This is truly craftmanship of the highest order and has been much admired far beyond Denmark’s borders. Flora Danica will therefore never be just a piece of beautifully decorated porcelain, but a tale of kingdoms and empires, political alliances and changing fashions, and much more. This book will give you an insight into the stories and the fascinating production process that is characteristic of a piece of Flora Danica from Royal Copenhagen.
