Muut tiedot

The interior design company "Futurum" was one of the many interior design companies that started business in Sweden post the 1930 Stockholm exhibition. Futurum was founded in 1934 by Margareta Köhler and Marie-Louise Idestam-Blomberg. The philosophy for their business was based upon the modernistic, or if you wish functionalistic, ideals that were introduced at the 1930 Stockholm Exhibition. The furniture should not be put in an interior for merely decorative purposes but based upon the client's actual needs and designed with their function as a major target.
Margareta Köhler was the main designer of the furniture produced by Futurum. Their aim was to create an unity with the furniture, textiles, lighting etc. Despite really good reviews from both clients and critics, Futurum had to shut down the business in 1941 due to financial problems.
