DescriptionDescription: The Stockholm Exhibition 1930 was an ambitious project where modern architecture and design was presented to the public. Architect Sigurd Lewerentz created the official graphic symbol in the form of a pair of wings. Lewerentz’s inspiration was a picture of a birdman from prehistoric Egypt, but he exchanged the soft feathers of his wings for the sharp blades of a razor.
