(1888PressRelease)
February 14, 2008 - Swedish interior design has compiled a new history section on their website at http://www.swedishinteriordesign.co.uk to correct some of the common misunderstandings that prevail over the various types of furniture that were created in Sweden in the 17th and 18th centuries.
It looks at the background in social terms and how various furniture shapes developed in the historical context.
This is available to students, interior design journalists and other interested parties.
The section includes descriptions of how the pieces were made, what use the Gustavian, Rococo and other furniture was put to and how the Famous Mora clock was developed and built in the 1800s.
Visitors can also see examples of real Gustavian , rococo and mora pieces on the site to compare to the historical descriptions.
These history pages are available at

In particular Gustavian furniture provides a far wider range of colour and shape than most people are familiar with due to the modern 'reproduction' trend for white swedish furniture.
