Together with names including Alvar Aalto, Bruno Mathsson, Arne Jacobsen and Poul Kjaerholm, Yngve Ekström was at the core of a generation of designers who made the concept “Scandinavian Modern” famous all over the world. Swedese is a classic Swedish furniture producer with a strong anchor in both the public and domestic domain. Many modernist architects were universal designers with not only a clear understanding of designing houses, but also the interior, the furniture and almost the clothes the owners might wear. Swedese’s founder, Yngve Ekström, was no exception.
