Carl and Karin Larsson – Creators of the Swedish “Ideal Home”?

• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

In 1888, two Swedish painters, Carl Larsson and Karin Larsson, moved to the mansion Lilla Hyttnäs in Sundborn (Dalarna, Sweden). This summer house became an ideal place for a big family with eight children, but was also a complex work of art which astonishes by its fantasy and uniqueness even today. These radiant rooms full of joy and love were depicted by Carl in his watercolours but can be visited in the museum founded after the death of the householders. The Larssons’ style was an inspiration for Scandinavian interior design and built an image of the “ideal home”, mostly by illustrated albums with commentaries by Carl. By analyzing the story of the house, with its various inspirations and ideas, some links to contemporary Swedish furniture companies and the Social Democrats’ concept of Folkhemmet and lagom are given.
