Designer

Carl-Axel Acking is considered one of the most influential Swedish architects and designers during the 1930s-50s. Acking's furniture and lighting fixtures have been produced by, among others, Svenska Möbelfabrikerna in Bodafors, the Kooperativa Förbundet in Stockholm and Bröderna Malmströms Metallvarufabrik in Malmö, as well as by several cabinetmakers for the Stockholm Crafts Association. He also had an important role in Nordiska Kompaniet's furniture department during the 1940-50s where he designed the iconic "Trienna" chair. Acking had an early breakthrough at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1937, and had many prestigious assignments in the following years. Acking was one of the main architects behind the H55 exhibition in Helsingborg in 1955 and held significant positions within the Swedish world of architecture and design.
