Clean, elegant lines, delicate color schemes, well-proportioned, light-filled spaces, and natural materials-the hallmarks of Scandinavian design are unmistakable. As the trend in residential design continues to move toward pared-down, comfortably elegant, environmentally friendly homes, the Scandinavian aesthetic has become a global influence in interior design. Lars Bolander, one of Sweden's foremost interior designers, has been creating the Scandinavian look in homes all over the world for decades. In this impressively illustrated volume, he and author Heather Smith MacIsaac, a former editor of House & Garden magazine, share their expert knowledge of the very best in Scandinavian design, past and present, offering guidance on how to achieve the Scandinavian look, incorporate the trademark elements into any decor, and mix and match traditional and modern, humble and grand.

Claës Norstedt’s lifework was of great importance to the Finnish glass industry for several reasons. He organized one of the largest glass collections in Finland, became director of two important glassworks, and finally, he contributed greatly to the documentation of the industry through his studies of 18th and 19th century glass manufacturing in Finland. In addition to presenting Norstedt’s story as well as a catalogue of over 500 items in his gorgeous collection, this book addresses the early days of the Finnish glass industry, the profession of glass-blowing, and the art glass as well as household products that resulted.
