About Lars Bolander

Lars Bolander is a distinguished and well-respected interior designer, born in Sweden, who is known for bringing Scandinavian design to North America. Lars’ clients span the globe. He has designed homes for some of the most prominent members of European and American society.

Lars is also known for his eclectic choice of the world’s finest antiques, reproductions, and
accessories. Through his travels, he has been able to gather items for his collection as well as his
showrooms in New York and West Palm Beach.

In his latest project, a book which will be published this Fall, he explains the history of architectural and interior design from the 17th Century to the 20th Century.

Here is what some of Lars' friends and collegues said about, "Lars Bolander's Scandinavian Design."

"A private, exclusive tour of the best of Scandinavian design. . . . This book is a new treasure for my design library, one I will refer to over and over."

~ Bunny Williams

"A sophisticated volume . . . an in-depth, intelligent, and informative look at the design sensibilities found in Scandinavian domestic furniture and decoration. . . . Lars Bolander surveys all of this with his keen . . . eye and finely honed historical knowledge, and the results are breathtaking."

~Martha Stewart

“From his captivating shops in New York and Palm Beach, Lars Bolander has won an army of converts to his seductive vision of Scandinavian design, antique and modern, rustic and urbane. In this book, he brings that world of style vividly to life with images of some of the most magical and inspiring environments to be found there, from the light-dappled elegance of Gustavian interiors to the inventive purity of the very best in contemporary architecture.”

~ Hamish Bowles

“Lars Bolander’s handsome and intelligent book tells the story of Scandinavian design and its influence—in the past, in the present, and leading into the twenty-first century. A product of a northern world separated to a great extent from Europe, Scandinavian design looked to the styles of the French court in the eighteenth century, but developed its own style with an adaptive simplicity that has given it a place unto itself in the history of design, as beautifully visualized on the pages of this book."

~ David Easton

“Lars has the magic formula for combining the sophisticated Gustavian style with the rustic charm of the Scandinavian countryside. Just perfect!”

~ Juan Pablo Molyneux
