1930-70년대 스웨덴의 사회개혁 정책과 현대 디자인의 형성

The social-democratic ideas which define the modern national Swedish idea have had an important influence on Swedish modern design during this century. Swedish designers found humanistic and democratic values in the traditional design style and they tried to create a modem style that was based on handcraft traditions as well as modem industrial aesthetics. Issues raised by Swedish designers of that time included how Sweden was achieving a national identity through design and how design reflected changes within society. The purpose of this study is to investigate the social reformation policy of the Swedish government during the 1930-1970 period and its influence on Swedish modern design. This paper, it is hoped, will provide an opportunity to place contemporary Swedish design in a sodal and aesthetic context.
