The allmoge style is a characteristic of Swedish folk art and the beauty with which people surrounded themselves. Allmoge style is found all over the world and is distinguished by a sense of old-fashion and rusticity, which includes many practical objects. Allmoge objects are often made of natural materials such as wood, wool, flax and iron. The category Allmoge contains a mixture of objects of very simple designs to the most amorous works of art.
