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.

This book presents the design examples from a project called Static!, that was led by Interactive Institute and funded by the Swedish Energy Agency, as well as perspectives on issues in (sustainable) design today. Grounded in passion and humor, as well as rigor and research, the book asks designers and consumers – that is, all of us – to rethink the form, and future, of electricity in the world around us. Static! explores design as a basis for increasing awareness of energy. Familiar furnishings and products have been reinterpreted to materialize electricity, to make it more visible and tangible for people. The resulting series of conceptual design examples express the poetics – and politics – of everyday electricity consumption. List of product participants and extensive references.
