Carl Malmsten

Carl Malmsten (1888–1972) devoted his life to the renewal of traditional Swedish craftsmanship, inspired by the cultural examples of the Swedish country manor and rustic styles – furniture endowed with a creative simplicity, with a feeling for the wood itself, with function in mind and a high technical quality. His designs have become highly sought after Swedish classics. Malmsten's influence on Swedish furniture design is particularly significant through the schools he founded.
