BJORN DAHLSTROM: Designer
Stockholm: Arvinius, 2001

First edition. 9.5" x 7". [124] pp; full of color & b/w illustrations. Text in Swedish and English. Black cloth with dustjacket. Fine/Near Fine, a clean, unmarked copy. Bjorn Dahlstrom (b. 1957), a Swedish furniture and industrial designer, is well known internationally and has designed a wide variety of products - bicycles, carpets, cookware, furniture, toys - for companies such as Cbi, Magis, Atlas Copco, Iittala, and Marimekko. 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. The concept of this book originated in an exhibition of Bjorn Dahlstrom's work held at the Nordic embassies' "Felleshus" in Berlin in the autumn of 2000. 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.
