Carl Malmsten’s furniture designs are a reflection of the Swedish peasant culture. He studied how the different characters of the landscapes and the living conditions of the people were artistically expressed in their everyday items. He fused all these impressions and from them created his own distinctive style.
Carl Malmsten’s early approach to ecology has now become the ideal of our age. The production of reusable and long-lasting products using minimal resources.
Carl Malmsten’s work of a lifetime has played an indisputable role in shaping our furniture design culture. His contribution to Swedish furniture design can be compared to the contribution of Anders Zorn and Carl Larsson to Swedish visual art.
