The exhibition presents a selection of the best handcrafted furniture from the post-war period chosen because of the exquisite workmanship that they display. The creative talents behind these pieces include renowned architects like Finn Juhl and Hans Wegner, but the focus is primarily on pieces by designers who are less known, often due to their limited output. Among them are Ejner Larsen & Axel Bender Madsen whose Game table in rosewood and ebony from 1966 is one of the exhibition highlights. Made in close collaboration with the highly skilled Cabinetmaker Willy Beck, it is an ideal example of design, cabinetmaking and leatherwork in a refined synthesis.

Nothing could be lovelier than a traditional Swedish table or a decoratively shaped mirror frame. Their balanced forms and simple finish have a timeless elegance that suits both modern and traditional homes. The 35 woodworking projects in this book come directly from Sweden’s past, and the original pieces can be seen in famous Swedish museums. Many of the pieces evoke familiar early American styles, but with a distinctive Swedish touch. The projects include small and easy-to-make things such as a plate rack, child’s stool, tray, and simple cutting boards. Others are larger and more challenging, like the stepladder. Each piece is photographed and every detail is accuarately described. Step-by step instructions and expertly drawn how-to diagrams are given for every project. There are also instructions for traditional Swedish finishing, painting and staining methods.
