A scarce document from the postwar industrial design era that was collected by an Attendee of the Helsingborg Exhibition 1955 [H55]. The theme of H55 was primarily arts and crafts, assembled with the aim of showing ways in which modern design could be integrated into commercial items and luxury goods. The fair drew exhibitors from over ten countries [no mean feat at the time] and included the String Bookshelf by Nisse Strinning.
