Overview:

Swedish Design is principally a book about design' but it also offers an exploration of the pleasure' knowledge' and inspiration behind design. Fourteen of Sweden's most interesting photographers provide a rich and varied documentation of the contemporary Swedish design scene' capturing the artists' their work' and their environment' plus a number of key producers and contributors. An illustrated history surveys Swedish design from 1845 to the present while a glossary and directory provide further information on this growing industry. With text by design authority Susanne Helgeson' and illustrated with 1000 images' Swedish Design is ambitious and illuminating; it is the first major book on the subject' and a classic for all those interested in design and the strikingly innovative Swedish design scene in particular.
