Summary:"Swedish Design: A History provides a fascinating and comprehensive introduction to the development of design in Sweden, from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century. Leading design historian Lasse Brunnström traces the move from artisanal craft production to the mass production and consumption of designed objects, a process by which the role and profile of the designer became increasingly important. His survey, richly illustrated with images of the design objects discussed, takes in forms of design traditionally associated with Sweden, such as household objects and textiles, while also considering some less-written about genres such as industrial and graphic design, as well as more recent areas such as web design and service design. Brunnström also questions many established ideas about design in Sweden; its aesthetics and relationship to Sweden's national and political culture, arguing that the history of design in Sweden has been far more complex and less straightforwardly 'blond' than hitherto understood."--Provided by publisher
