Like its counterpart Danish Modern, modern Swedish design combined Modern Functionalism with the Scandinavian respect for craftsmanship, the ¨beauty for all¨ philosophy and the use of wood and natural materials. Swedish Modern became increasingly appreciated internationally in the 1930s and reached its peak in the 1950s in the products of Josef Frank and Svenskt Tenn. Swedish fabrics, rugs and ceramics tend to be cool and agreeable with light-colored woods and a predominance of white.
