Carl Malmsten (Sweden, 1888-1972) Carl Malmsten is not only one of Sweden's most famous furniture designers, but also one of the great cultural figures of the 20th century, described as a Swedish Finn Juhl, whose profound influence on the domestic environment, the public environment and contemporary public debate.
He was an architect, furniture designer and educator known for his dedication to traditional Swedish craftsmanship and his opposition to functionalism.
Malmsten's career began in 1916 when he won a competition to design the furniture for Stockholm City Hall (stadshus), and in 1917 he exhibited his work alongside other well-known Swedish architects such as Gunnar Asplund and Uno Aulen.
He founded an interior design shop bearing his name on Stockholm's riverfront, which is still run today by his grandson.
Malmsten has had a lasting influence on Swedish furniture design through the two schools he founded: Carl Malmsten Furniture Studies (Carl Malmstensskolan), which has been part of Linköping University since 2000 and is located on the island of Lidingö outside Stockholm.
