An exploration of Swedish furniture and interiors, from royal salons with exquisite Pompeian ornament to modest splatter-painted Biedermeier halls. The volume contains nearly 400 photographs presenting the decoration and furnishings of 20 houses and apartments in neoclassical style with a Swedish freshness. The text traces the evolution of the neoclassical style in Sweden, placing it in its wider European context, and examines the history of each of the buildings. Plans and original drawings by the architects and designers are included.

Excellent and erudite

Format:Paperback
This book is a treasure of neoclassicism in Sweden. It is supported by sensible (not gushy interior design talk) text and is logically sequenced.
The pictures and additional material is excellent; although the lighting in some of the photographs is less than perfect.
This is an inspirational reference for the topic.

As good as it gets
11 Mar 2008
By Lupo Montegrigio
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
A rich variety of houses, some grander than the others, but all well-to-do peoples dwellings. Some of the manors featured aren't very well known even in Sweden, but they certainly deserve their place here. The few I do miss are featured in "The Swedish Room" e.i. Lay-out-wise it is by now perhaps a little dated, but the auther knows his subject very well and the accompaning photos are mostly marvellous. When a Swede writes on Swedish interiors the result is accurate as this book shows.
