In other words, one cannot help but marvel at certain people. And one thing is certain, it is not the last time we hear about Alexander Lervik when it comes to form and design.

FORM 4

This year's traditional school issue, featuring presentations of graduation projects from the country's design schools.

Special attention was given to what in our opinion was the best, Alexander Lervik's stool project. Lars Paulsrud's humorous graphic genetics was also described and we checked how things went afterward for Elisabeth Björkbom, Årets Embryo -96. We spoke with four Swedish design students studying in the United Kingdom and did a survey of our higher artistic education programs. Stephen Burks, American industrial designer, was presented, as was Otto Künzli, today one of the world's most intriguing jewelry artists. 30th-anniversary-celebrating successful

Vi talade med fyra svenska designstudenter, som pluggar i Storbritannien och gjorde en genom- gang av våra konstnarliga htgskoleut- bildningar.
