The term Swedish Modern first became current in the 1930s when modern Swedish design was becoming increasingly well known in Europe and the United States. However, it was at its height in the 1950s and was characterized by many of the qualities of Modernism blended with natural materials such as wood and a Scandinavian respect for craftsmanship. Like its counterpart in Denmark (Danish Modern) attributes of the Swedish Modern style included the use of light‐coloured woods, organic shapes, and colour schemes with a predominance of white offset by accents of colour in textiles, rugs, and ceramics. Closely associated with the promotion of the Swedish Modern were the products of Josef Frank and Svenskt Tenn seen at international exhibitions of the 1930s, most notably the New York World's Fair of 1939–40.
