A conversation with Nina Stritzler-Levine
Nina Stritzler-Levine, known for her work on Sheila Hicks, Aino Marsio-Aalto, and Eileen Gray, brings her keen understanding of design history to this project. Having long been drawn to the stories of pioneering women in design and architecture, her engagement with Svenskt Tenn became an exploration of Estrid Ericson’s lasting influence.
The book emerged from a desire to honor Svenskt Tenn’s centenary. Stritzler-Levine, invited to lead the editorial process, immersed herself in the company’s archive, a collection she describes as an invaluable resource for understanding both its past and its evolution.
“I am enamored by companies who have enough faith in themselves to preserve their own history, who understand history is part of contemporary innovation. The engine behind this project is the extraordinary Svenskt Tenn archive. I delved into that place with great intensity, trying not to leave a stone unturned.”
