Swedish Rococo

Swedish Rococo, also known as the Late Baroque style, emerged in the early 18th century and lasted until the late 18th century. It was influenced by the French Rococo style but also incorporated elements of Swedish craftsmanship and design. The style is characterized by its lightness, elegance, and intricate ornamentation, with an emphasis on asymmetry and whimsical motifs. Swedish Rococo architecture, furniture, and art are renowned for their ornate and playful nature, reflecting the influence of nature and the natural world. This period marked a significant shift in Swedish design, as it moved away from the heavier, more formal Baroque style towards a more lighthearted and graceful aesthetic.
