Founded in 1951 by visionary textile designer Armi Rati and her husband, Viljo, the Marimekko Corporation in Finland not only sparked a revolution in pattern making but also pioneered a new definition of fashion that embraced the entire home environment. This book - a comprehensive study of Marimekko designs - presents more than one hundred examples of the exubrant Marimekko fashions and home furnishings that gave the company a definitive presence on the world design stage. The book considers the history of the company from its founding through today and examines Marimekko’s impact on design in Finland and around the world. The company’s most important designers, including Maija Isola and Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi, their contributions, and their stylistic development are also discussed. In addition, the book examines Marimekko home and office interiors and how they reflected the lifestyle envisioned in Armi Ratia’s broad, radical definition of fashion.

In this book Bruno Mathsson is portrayed by three authors. Dag Widman explores the person Bruno Mathsson, as well as furniture designer. Karin Winter discusses his buildings, searches for his sources of inspiration, compares plan types, identifies the different building materials, and encapsulates his glasshouse architecture in the term “the Mathsson concept.” Nina Stritzler-Levine writes about his exceptional reception in the United States - starting from the moment when Edgar Kaufmann Jr. noticed him at the Paris World’s Fair in 1937, an encounter that led to his furniture being placed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. A beautiful book on the most important furniture designer Sweden has ever produced.
