EXHIBITS: "17 Swedish Designers"

Sweden has been a hub of contemporary furniture design for over 50 years. But when it comes to the goods, few actually consider the craftsman. For this exhibit, Swedish furniture and home good designers will have their sleek-yet-functional works spotlighted. Each artist — all female — has been featured in Gallery Pascale, Stockholm’s first design-exclusive gallery; but more recently in 17 Swedish Designers, the book by gallery owner, Pascale Cottard-Olsson. Pieces range from glassware like vases and other decorative housewares to modern furniture and even woven textile installations. Think upscale Ikea.

Opening reception Sun. Sept. 18, 4:30-6 p.m., through Jan. 29, free, American Swedish Historical Museum, 1900 Pattison Ave., 215-389-1776, americanswedish.org.
