There is an exhibit for designer Carl Malmsten at Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde. His furnitures are seen everywhere in Sweden, in households, department stores, and even extravegant offices. I particularly liked this drawer which said was inspired by Chinese cabinets. It balances nicely in a toned down old school living room.
Carl Malmson also designed many other things such as typewriters and bags today (I just realized the Sandqvist bag lying on the ground next to me is by him too). He also has a school of woodwork where aspring young Swedes and others are making beautiful woodwork. He also founded a guitar making school. It's incredibly nice to see artisan work being succeeded to the next generation.
