SWEDISH ARTS AND CRAFTS: SWEDISH MODERN
A MOVEMENT TOWARDS SANITY IN DESIGN

Ake Stavenow, Mattis Horlen, Ake H. Huldt and Elias Svedberg [editors]

8.25 x 11.5 rare soft cover book with 96 pages and approx. 145 b/w illustrations, 4 in color and 6 tipped-in wallpaper samples. Includes a brief history of Swedish arts and crafts from the Renaissance to the Modern, a list of exhibitors with their addresses and an index. The forward-looking beauty and simplicity of the arts and crafts -- including glassware, porcelain, pottery, metalware, bookbinding, textiles, furniture, poster design and wallpaper -- displayed in this magazine makes me wonder what would have developed and when without the tragic interruption of World War II.
