Designer

Carl Bergsten (1879-1935) was an architect and designer whose significance for the development of modern architecture and furniture design in Sweden during the early 20th century cannot be overstated. Several of his commissions, such as the Industrial Exhibition in Norrköping in 1906 featuring the now iconic Café Chairs, the Swedish pavilion at the 1925 World's Fair in Paris, the interior design for MS Kungsholm in 1928, and contributions to the Stockholm Exhibition in 1930, have been crucial for the evolution of Swedish architecture and design. Bergsten's often luxurious and costly furniture and interiors have become trendsetting and pivotal for establishing the concept of Swedish Grace.
