Tham & Videgård Arkitekter are leaders of a new generation of Swedish architects. As Hans Ibelings notes in one of the book’s essays, they are neither stuck in the functionalist past nor preoccupied with a conceptual image. By approaching each assignment in a direct and uncomplicated way, they create opportunities for architectural exploration. For ten years they have produced a singular and lucid architecture that owes as much to vernacular Nordic tradition as it does to the international scene.

Ljuset ska vara vitt och lysa fritt – historien om atljé Lyktan

Graphic design: Jesper Öberg

Format: 275x225 mm

Some lights are visible, others illuminate.

Ateljé Lyktan has always been as interested in a luminaire’s inside as its outer form. Since its founding in 1934, the firm’s development has been driven by lighting for public spaces. But it is the modern classics such as Struten, Bumlingen and Supertuben that have given Ateljé Lyktan its unique standing among Swedish lighting companies.
In this book, Johan Jansson and Staffan Bengtsson tell the story of Ateljé Lyktan’s road to success in Sweden and internationally. It is the story of how a few extraordinarily gifted individuals such as Hans Bergström, Anders Pehrson and Per Sundstedt succeeded in developing the company’s products and lighting philosophy to continually capture the attention of both the design world and the end-user. It is, quite simply, the illuminating story of how a little company from the village of Åhus in southern Sweden year after year brought global metropolises like New York, Milan, and Munich to their knees.

Touch-down in a new world of Norwegian design.

Norway Calling, the book of contemporary Norwegian design, is a kind of answer to the question of why Norwegian design is arousing such pleasure and curiosity today the world over.

It is the first book to mirror the exciting northern trend, introducing some of the principal figures and some of their most important projects – an excellent opportunity for design-lovers to acquaint themselves with the vigorous development of Norwegian design after such titans as Sverre Fehn, Grete Prytz Kittelsen and Arne Korsmo.

After years of silence there proved to be a new, living world of Norwegian design. There are now young designers who want to be a part of design development and they have, not least, the backing of a good organisation in Norsk Form and the Norwegian Design Council. Without their efforts and the training of government resources on the design sector, the new wave of design would not have attained the peaks it is now so triumphantly conquering.

Graphical symbols for public information.

We all come into contact with symbols, for example when travelling, shopping or visiting libraries and hospitals. Properly designed, the symbols are readily understandable and make life easier for us. Because pictorial symbols – graphical symbols – are so widespread in public places, it is important, as a matter of democracy and human rights, that everyone should be able to understand them.

“Graphical Symbols for Many More” is a national devel-opment and standardisation project aimed at making public symbols more uniform and more serviceable in keeping with the concept of Design for All. Graphical symbols must serve everyone’s purposes. The objective is a Swedish standard laying guidelines and policy for the design and use of graph-ical symbols. This book contains the competition entries, presented by category, Medical centre, Library, Travel centre, Source separation, Playground, Evacuation meeting point and Internet café. The winning entry, the nominated entries and the honourable mention are presented in their entirety.
