Sweden, circa 1900
Sinuous plant motifs and extravenous carving are some of the stylistic traits associated with Symbolist and Art Nouveau furniture. In Sweden, as with much of continental Europe, fin-de-siecle artists and designers looked to nature for inspiration, with a rejection of the burgeoning consumer culture and growing industrialisation. The 'dream' of moving to the countryside proliferated, a space where art and design would fuse in harmony with the surrounding nature
