Swedish furniture designer, architect, and educator who was known for his devotion to traditional Swedish craftmanship and his opposition to functionalism. He "considered the rationalization of the home according to functionalist principles a debasement of its traditional role as an intimate place for gathering and repose".
Malmsten has had a lasting influence on Swedish furniture design through the two schools he founded:
- Carl Malmstensskolan
- Capellagården
