HIDDEN GEMS: A PHOTO ESSAY
Lilla Hyttnäs
The beloved home of 19th century artists Karin and Carl Larsson, Lilla Hyttnäs is celebrated as an
icon of Swedish design. Situated in Dalarna county, the colourful house brims with motifs inspired by
the natural world. The Larssons sympathised with British contemporary William Morris, who shared
their call for a return to the simplicity of artisanal design and natural beauty.
Textile designer Karin Larsson adorned the home with folk art-inected owers along with classic
patterns like pinstripes and gingham. The bucolic charm of family life was beautifully captured in
exquisite watercolours by Carl Larsson, some of which you can enjoy here. Lilla Hyttnäs is open to
the public throughout the year, discover more at carllarsson.se
