SCANDINAVIAN DESIGN
Ulf Hard af Segerstad
Ulf Hard af Segerstad: SCANDINAVIAN DESIGN. Stockholm: Nordisk Rotogravyr, 1961. First English edition -- Swedish and Danish editions as well. A near-fine hardcover book with a very good dustjacket: DJ worn to edges with a coupleof small chips missing; contents are fine, but the decorated paper-covered boards are lightly sun-faded. Former owners name in ink on FEP, otherwise interior unmarked and very clean. Out-of-print. 6.25 x 8.25 hardcover book with 130 pages and 30 color illustrations and 58 b/w illustrations. Includes an Index of Producers and Designers. From the first chapter: "Industrial art is to Scandinavia what painting is to France, music to Germany and the Alps to Switzerland. Silver from Denmark, "Rya" rugs from Finland, enamelware from Norway and glass vases from Sweden -- these are but a few of the things considered particularly typical of the Scandinavian countries."
