This book showcases close to forty examples of Dahlstrom designs, everything from cutlery and furniture to a pneumatic drill for Atlas Copco and an advanced bike for Skeppshult.

From Berlin, the exhibition transferred to the Form/Design Center in Malmo in the spring of 2001, and then an expanded version was held at the National Museum of Science and Technology in Stockholm.
