Editor Christer Mårdbrant (1948-2025), Stockholm.
Christer Mårdbrant's interest in art, design, and antiques was broad, passionate, and tireless. His home in Gamla stan in Stockholm was filled with objects that had been acquired over the years with glowing enthusiasm and great care. Many epochs and styles coexisted, where contemporary art, folk art, Rococo, Danish design from the mid-20th century, and postmodern design harmonised in a highly personal interior.
Mårdbrant was a long-time contributor to financial newspaper Dagens Industri. He began his journalism career as a reporter at FiB Aktuellt and then moved on to Veckans Affärer as a business journalist. From Veckans Affärer, he then went to Dagens Industri, where he worked for over twenty years, most of the time as the editorial manager. During parts of the 1990s, he was DI's correspondent in Brussels with a mandate to cover the EU in the lead-up to Sweden's accession. He was also the newspaper's correspondent in New York for a time.
