CARLSHAGA TURN OF THE CENTURY SHELVES IN CARL LARSSON STYLE
The shelves are inspired by what is called the Carl Larsson style, which played a major role in new home ideals. In 1899, the first picture book "A Home" was published in large editions. Here, contemporary audiences were introduced to new home ideals in appealing, cozy images with bright walls, rag rugs on scrubbed floors, and painted or stained furniture. The shelves come in two versions: a tall model and a low model.

Sundborn represents one of the strongest inspirations for a stylish home. Thoughts on what constitutes good taste and what makes a successful home. The artist couple Karin and Carl Larsson were superstars and influencers of their time. They had many guests, both Swedish and foreign, who came to visit their unique artist home, one of Sweden's most talked-about residences. Their home, Lilla Hyttnäs in Sundborn, outside Falun, is well worth a visit and still inspires today.
The Larsson home was perfectly suited to its time, in the transition between the old style with heavy textiles, excessive ornamentation, and dark tones, and the new bright and clean aesthetic. The working class was encouraged, with Ellen Key at the forefront, to cherish the beauty around them to increase joy and well-being.
