Swedish Design: A History provides a fascinating and comprehensive introduction to the development of design in Sweden from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twenty-first. Leading design historian Lasse Brunnström traces the move from artisanal crafts production to the mass production and consumption of designed objects, a process by which the role and profile of the designer became increasingly important. His survey, richly illustrated with images of the designed objects discussed, takes in forms of design traditionally associated with Sweden, such as household objects and textiles, while also considering some less-written about genres such as industrial and graphic design. Brunnström questions many established ideas about design in Sweden, notably its aesthetics and its relationship to Sweden's national and political culture. He argues that the history of design in Sweden has been far more complex and less straightforwardly 'blond' than hitherto understood.

This book is one of the first to explore aviation and aircraft leasing and purchase as an investable asset class, as Asia's infrastructure and logistics boom continues. Airplanes are an absolutely crucial but capital-intensive component of the global economy. The author, as a businessperson in the industry as well as a researcher, bridges a gap in the existing literature by making the connection between academic and industry research in his analysis of the underlying aviation asset class return and risk profile. The book investigates the characteristics of the global, Asia and China specific aircraft leasing industry while the dynamics and drivers of the aviation and leasing landscape are also examined in respect to the global aircraft market and more specifically the Asia and China market. In addition, an analysis of the drivers affecting cross border mergers and acquisitions in the industry is developed. This book will be of interest to more general aviation enthusiasts, industry participants, and academics.
