Swedish Modern Studios is a Swedish design studio honoring the most beautiful and finest era of Scandinavian design – Swedish Modern. We give furniture, mainly cabinets and other storage furniture from the 1920-40’s, a new life and a new face by applying floral prints from the book series “Nordens Flora” on the furniture.
These books were first published in the early 1900’s by the botanist Carl A. M. Lindman and contains colored paintings of flowers and plants that grow in the Nordic countries.
Each and every piece of furniture is created by hand and no two items look the same.
We hope that you will be one of the persons to enjoy the beauty and functionality of these decorative and practical pieces.
We are continuously releasing new items that are created in our studio in Sweden.
All items can be ordered via our website by contacting us. Shipping is available worldwide.
Swedish Modern is a design era that emerged in Sweden during the early 20th century, primarily in the 1920s and 1930s. It represented a departure from the heavy and ornate styles of the previous century, such as Art Nouveau and Jugendstyle, and embraced a more streamlined, functional, and modern approach to the design.
Swedish Modern is characterized by its simplicity, elegance, and emphasis on functionality.
The design is known for its clean lines, minimal ornamentation, and uncluttered aesthetics. It prioritizes simplicity and functionality, emphasizing a sense of order, symmetry and balance in the design. While it embraced modernity, it also incorporated elements inspired by nature and the Swedish countryside. Organic motifs, such as leaves, flowers, and animals, were used in textiles and decorative objects.
Functionality and practicality were also essential aspects of Swedish Modern design. Furniture, in particular, was designed with comfort and usability in mind. This approach contributed to the creation of timeless and enduring pieces.
Longevity and sustainability were important considerations in Swedish Modern design. Furniture and objects were built to last, often becoming cherished family heirlooms.
Prominent designers and architects associated with the Swedish Modern movement include Carl Malmsten, Bruno Mathsson, Josef Frank among others. These designers played a significant role in shaping the aesthetic of the era and creating iconic pieces of furniture and decorative arts.
Today, Swedish Modern design continues to be highly regarded for its timeless elegance and practicality. Many of the design elements from this era remain popular and sought after by interior decorators and people who appreciate its enduring appeal.
