It was at that time the social engineers stepped into the homes. Doctors and mathematicians arranged things scientifically. Furniture was measured and tested. Carpentry was on the threshold of industrialization. And furniture design was at a kind of zenith. Swedish, Danish, and Finnish furniture designers conquered the world with chairs, cabinets, armchairs, and tables. Today, the popularity of these pieces is as great as ever before. And some of the creations that were once new in the emerging welfare state can be found at Auktionsmagasinet Vänersborg, which now presents the theme "Folkhem Design."
Welcome to explore among furniture designed by Yngve Ekström, Bruno Mathsson, Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist, and feel free to sift through a generous selection of IKEA models from a time when teak was in high fashion and functionality was a hallmark. Welcome to Folkhem Design!
