A Home - The World of Carl and Karin Larsson - Raamatud

Welcome to Lilla Hyttnäs, home to two of the greatest artists Sweden has ever seen.
When Carl and Karin Larsson moved back to Sweden after several years abroad, they were given a small cabin in Sundborn by Karin’s father. The cottage in Dalarna became Carl’s and Karin’s joint art project where their artistic talents resulted in an unusually modern and personal architecture, coloring, and interior design. Through Carl’s paintings, it has become one of the world’s most famous homes. The light, Karin’s free interior design style and the active family life, as depicted in Carl’s beloved watercolors, have become synonymous with the image of Sweden.
Now Lilla Hyttnäs is shown in a way it has never been seen before. With interesting texts that provide a historical context, and fantastic styling by Elsa Billgren, all admirers of the turn-of-the-century artists get the chance to discover Carl s and Karin s greatest work: their home.
A Home gives a unique insight into one of Sweden’s most famous homes. With Carl and Karin Larsson’s life and artistry in focus, lifestyle expert Elsa Billgren shows off the home and inspires you to create the same feeling in your own home.
Carl & Karin Larsson were active in Sweden at the turn of the century. Their artistry worked in strong symbiosis, in part through Karin creating the environments that Carl then depicted.
