Sigvard Bernadotte

The Swedish prince Sigvard Bernadotte (1907-2002) was an internationally recognized designer, illustrator and industrial designer. In 1929 Bernadotte saw the exhibition of Gunnar Asplund in Stockholm which was the breakthrough of functionalism. This inspired Bernadotte to act by the ideals of the functional design. Shortly afterwards Bernadotte and Georg Jensen started a long cooperation, where functionalism was visible in modern silver objects.
