Carl Malmsten made me do it by David Ericsson
Swedish designer David Ericsson has created a furniture range made from leather, wood and linen for his thesis project at the Carl Malmsten Workshop in Sweden.
Carl Malmsten Made Me Do consists of four lamps, three chairs, a wall cabinet and a desk.
The project is named after Carl Malmstrem, a Swedish furniture and interior designer who set up the Carl Malmsten Workshop in 1930, which later became a department at the Linköpings University.

Here's some more from the designer:
The Project: Carl Malmsten made me do it.
The aim with this work is to try to create processes and products deriving from humanist values.
I have developed a humanistic design manifesto that I relate to in my work and based on it, I make wise choices.
In order to verify the work process, I have tried to answer to various philosophical choices, choice of materials, choice of cultural values and choices in life that I have as a human being.
I have choosen material that the consumer can put in his compost after end of life.
