Indepth Arts News: "Ten Swedish Designers, Thirty Years On" 2001-03-29 until 2001-08-12 National Museum Stockholm, , SE
In 1987, the Ten were reduced to five; today to three: Birgitta Hahn, Ingela Håkansson
and Tom Hedqvist.
Ten Swedish Designers quickly made a name for itself and was successful both at
home and on a wider market abroad. Each member has a distinctive style within a
common aesthetic framework. Their co-ordinated collections present brashly
coloured, graphically powerful patterns, printed by Borås Wäfveri.
Collections have been produced for IKEA, Rörstrand and others. Several designs
have gone to wallpaper, produced by Duro. Their textiles have been been used to
conceptually renew furniture and interior design, as well as for clothes and a rich
variety of functional small objects.
Ten Swedish Designers has promoted its collections with its own, arresting posters.
Through decorative art and printed fabrics, they have eased access to the design
language of modernism accessible for all.
