Historic buildings that stand empty have been a source of fascination to people since time immemorial. This is certainly true of Läckö Castle. Time seems to have stood still here since Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie was compelled to return his property to the Swedish Crown in 1681. Today the castle has once again been furnished with authentic 17th century objects to recreate a picture of a nobleman’s home. This lavishly illustrated book provides an introduction to both the furnishings and the interior decoration at Läckö Castle and an invaluable insight into the splendour of the Swedish Baroque.

The various component acts of design are performed along a continuum, which, es it happens, is the name of the organization featured in this opening exhibition. With offices in Boston, San Francisco, and Milan. Continuum draws its success from their unique interdisciplinary design process. As their name suggests, they carry out as many stages of design as possible, from inception through research and development, engineering, industrial and graphic design and packaging. In approaching any problem, the first thing Continuum does is to “step back” to provide perspective and eliminate any possibility of preconceptions or bias. Their unique approach is beautifully represented in this catalog with colorful thought-provoking images of their products accompanied by insightful essays on their design philosophy.
