Description

Scandinavian design is famous for being modernist, strict and blond. But this long-overdue volume, perfectly timed to mesh with the resurgence of craft as high art, shows that contemporary crafts from Sweden can offer so much more. Artists in Sweden are redefining craft with exciting new designs aimed at creating a more international movement eroding the boundaries between art, architecture and design. RE:FORM takes the pulse of Swedish crafts in the 21st century, with lavish illustrations and commentary from historians, economists and the artists themselves, weighing in on how crafts can find a new platform in the constantly shifting world of art and design.
