More information
Carl Cederholm graduated from HKS, the Technical School (now Konstfack) in 1940. Soon thereafter, Cederholm established the interior design company Firma Stil & Form at Sturegatan 36 in the center of Stockholm., which soon became a well-known name in Stockholm's well-to-do circles, with a shop at Sturegatan 36,
Firma Stil & Form's production was initially characterised by a distinctive art deco-influenced style but soon began to embody Swedish Modern. Carl Cederholm's designs are characterised by an organic and asymmetric form language, sometimes featuring exclusive inlays in silver. Among the firm's notable interior design projects is the Central Hotel in Gävle (1947).
Despite a certain impact in bourgeois circles, Cederholm's Stil & Form furniture and lamp fixtures were not produced in any larger quantities.
