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.
