DescriptionDescription: The Svedberg, a Nobel laureate in Chemistry, was one of the artists who in 1954 made patterns for designer Astrid Sampe’s collection Signerad textil. He was part of Sweden’s Atomic Committee, working for the peaceful use of nuclear power; his research in nuclear physics and chemistry paved the way for new cancer treatment methods. Atomics represents electron clouds and nucleus shell structures, recalling vivid blackboard diagrams.
