A tribute to the Swedish red paint tradition, as well as a beautiful interior detail.
Discover the wide range of the red-painted architectural heritage that gives identity and character to our Swedish landscape. This is a tribute to the Swedish building and red paint tradition, beautifully packaged as a coffee table book. Nice as an interior detail in your living room or as a gift.
The book will give you the opportunity to familiarize yourself with a variety of building types – from the oldest farmhouse to the most modern holiday home. The texts are written by cultural historian and antiquarian Ralph Edenheim, who has made a personal selection of buildings from all over Sweden. The red-painted buildings are illustrated with beautiful photographs by Olle Norling, who has managed to capture the beauty of the seemingly ordinary. Stables, mills, castles and churches – enjoy 224 wonderful pages of Swedish architectural culture!
