Whether it's design, interiors or architecture, the client list for the Swedish firm Sandell Sandberg reads like a roster of the world's edgiest companies, including B&B Italia, Artimide, Ericsson, Electrolux and IKEA. This first-ever comprehensive book about the firm, established in 1995, shows off the powerful, idiosyncratic sense of form that has placed principal Thomas Sandell at the forefront of the international architecture and design scene. Sandell's playful approach characterizes projects ranging from IKEA lamps or vacation retreats that look like they were designed for trolls with a mid-century modern aesthetic, to housing for the underprivileged in suburban communities. A substantial book on a designer whose influence will only grow with the decades. Includes plans and elevations.

This book makes it possible to follow the New Aarhus Kunstmuseum/AROS project from start to finish. While the introductory “log” provides a quick overview of the high spots in the process, the individual articles provide a more detailed version. The process is presented chronologically from the choosing of a site, the progress of the architectural competition and the digging of the first turf, through the planning phase and on to the fruition of the building project. Finally, there is an account of the fundamental idea and concept of the Museum, and of the thoughts and visions that will make their mark on the building and the art in it in years to come. A stunning new museum with an equally important collection international as well as Danish.
