Sigvard Bernadotte

The Swedish prince Sigvard Bernadotte (1907-2002) was an internationally renowned designer, illustrator, and industrial designer. In 1929, he attended Gunnar Asplund's exhibition in Stockholm, which marked the breakthrough of functionalism. This inspired Bernadotte to focus on functional design. Shortly thereafter, he began a long-term collaboration with Georg Jensen, where the principles of functionalism were clearly reflected in modern silver objects.
