Carl Malmsten was one of the great Swedish cultural figures of the 20th century, and today, more than a century later, his legacy can still be found in homes throughout Sweden. His ideas about design and interiors had a profound influence on domestic and public environments, as well as on the wider cultural debate of his time.

Carl Malmsten’s early ecological thinking has since become increasingly relevant: resource-conscious production, creating products with a long lifespan and the potential to be reused for generations.
