Resterande studier har han bedrivit på egen hand, dels genom att läsa allt han kunde hitta om bokbinderi, dels genom att praktiskt utforska och testa de teoretiska kunskaperna. Med envishet, uthållighet och grund- lighet har Arne under ca 40 år vandrat den långa vägen mot allt högre kompetens. Hans tekniska skicklighet har genom åren ökat till en mycket hög nivå. När det gäller att arbeta med intarsia och applikation, vågar jag påstå, att han blev en av Sveriges skickligaste. Arne Nilsson har med fantasi, ett stort mått av kreativitet och en härlig färgkänsla, skapat utsökta konst- närliga bokband.

  • Svenskt Tenn Introduces Five Vases by Josef Frank
    Oct 01, 2015 16:00 GMT Svenskt Tenn introduces five vases by Josef Frank Five new clear glass vases designed by Josef Frank are now available at Svenskt Tenn. The vases are shown in the exhibition “100 vases with flowers”, which opens October 1 at Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm. The exhibition is a tribute to Svenskt Tenn’s founder Estrid Ericson’s autumn exhibition from 1940. Svenskt Tenn’s founder Estrid Ericson had an urge to bring inside elements of nature for use in furnishings and table settings. Every week she brought flowers and twigs from her summer house garden on Tyresö outside Stockholm to decorate the store at Strandvägen 5. “Estrid Ericson was often referred to as the Queen of Table Settings because of herability to mix simple things with the lavishly festive,” says Thommy Bindefeld, Marketing Director at Svenskt Tenn. “She combined various styles and brought together different materials, colors and shapes. We want this exhibition to inspire visitors to create beautiful flower compositions and table settings in the spirit of Estrid Ericson.” In the exhibition, five new clear glass vases from the archive are shown. The vases, designed by Josef Frank in 1957, are now for the first time being produced at Skrufs glassworksin Småland, Sweden. Svenskt Tenn also introduces a collection of lights, exclusively sold in Sweden through Svenskt Tenn, designed by the Italian-British duo Giopato & Coombes and by Kalmar Werkstätten of Austria. “Giopato & Coombes is a prominent design duo working with traditional Italian artisans and high quality materials,” says Thommy Bindefeld. “Kalmar Werkstätten is a classic lightingmanufacturer, suppliers to Josef Frank’s own company Haus & Garten during the 1930s.

  • Polygon Radial Prints 2 Sessions – 90 Minutes Each
    Polygon Radial Prints 2 Sessions – 90 minutes each Essential Question: How can we arrange polygons to show rhythm and movement? Lesson Goal Students create a bilaterally symmetrical design with various types of quadrilaterals (or triangles) and repeatedly print their design to create radial symmetry. Lesson Objectives Students will be able to: • recognize radial movement as a visual concept and apply it to their compositions. • create artworks using a printmaking technique. • describe and classify different types of quadrilaterals (or triangles) in their own and others’ art. Common Core State Standards for Mathematics Reason with shapes and their attributes. Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories. California Visual Art Content Standards ARTISTIC PERCEPTION 1.1: Perceive and describe rhythm and movement in works of art and in the environment. CREATI VE EXPRESSION 2.6: Create an original work of art emphasizing rhythm and movement, using a selected printing process. HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL CONTEXT 3.1: Compare and describe various works of art that have a similar theme and were created at a different time.

  • To Mexico in Estrid Ericson's Footsteps – New Exhibition at Svenskt Tenn
    Jun 10, 2014 09:30 GMT To Mexico in Estrid Ericson’s footsteps – new exhibition at Svenskt Tenn Svenskt Tenn’s founder Estrid Ericson travelled to Mexico in 1939. She brought 70 boxes of objects back to create an exhibition in the store in Stockholm. Today a new exhibition opens, showing products purchased during a trip in Estrid Ericson’s footsteps in 2013. ’’The world is a book and he who stays at home reads only one page was one of Estrid Ericson’s favorite quotations, which she had engraved on a pewter matchbox. Travel was one of her main sources of inspiration and she was constantly looking for new items for Svenskt Tenn, preferably things that could not be found elsewhere in Sweden’’, says Thommy Bindefeld, Marketing Director at Svenskt Tenn. Ericson’s purchasing journeys took her to many countries and in the spring of 1939 she traveled with her friend Ragnhild Lundberg to Mexico. She looked up producers and placed orders with them directly. A few months later, boatloads of Mexican objects arrived, filling the store on Strandvägen in Stockholm. The show became one of the most appreciated events in the company’s history that far. Today a new exhibition opens, displaying the handpicked items purchased during a trip to Mexico in Estrid Ericson’s footsteps. All items are for sale. ’’It has been very exciting to follow in Estrid Ericson’s footsteps. We have rediscovered some of the items she selected during her trip, and we have also found many other beautiful crafted products that we simply could not resist,’’ says Thommy Bindefeld.

October 13, 2015 - Bemz, known for its designer covers for IKEA furniture, is very proud to introduce the most quintessential example of 1950s Swedish design, Pythagoras created by Sven Markelius, into its 10th Anniversary Limited Edition Designer-Curated collection.

Teosta pidetään Aallon uran käännekohtana ja yhtenä maailmansotien välisen moder- nismin kansainvälisesti keskeisimpänä teoksena. Eurooppalainen arkkitehtuuri koki tuolloin valtavan ideologisen muutoksen pyrkiessään vastaamaan yhä nopeammin teollis- tuvan ja kaupungistuvan yhteiskunnan haasteisiin. Aalto tuli kosketuksiin avantgardisti- arkkitehtien kanssa Congrès internationaux d’architecture moderne -järjestön piirissä vuodesta 1929 alkaen.

Työn teoreettisena näkökulmana on ranskalaisen sosiologin Bruno Latourin (1947–) aktiivisesti kehittämä toimijaverkkoteoria, joka korostaa paitsi sosiaalisten, myös materi- aalisten tekijöiden osuutta teknologisten järjestelmien muotoutumisessa.

  • Estrid Ericson Biography
    Estrid Ericson (1884-1981) was a Swedish artist, designer and accomplished entrepreneur responsible for both the establishment and longevity of Svenskt Tenn (Swedish Pewter), a Swedish interior design company for which she served as managing director for 56 years. Together with Nils Fougstedt, Ericson developed Svenskt Tenn into a most influential enterprise involved in manufacturing and design, imports, exports, retail sales and consulting services. Ericson was born in 1894 and raised in Hjo in Vastergotland. In the early 1920s, she trained as a drawing teacher at the Technical School in Stockholm. Thereafter she worked for several years as an art teacher, a pewter artist and interior design consultant at Svenskt Hemslöjd and Willman and Wiklund. In 1924, together with fellow pewter artist Nils Fougstedt, Ericson opened a small pewter workshop, and later in the same year they founded Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm. Initially, Svengst Tenn produced and sold creative modern designs in pewter, which were recognized for their wonderful quality of craftsmanship. In the 1930s, the focus of Svenskt Tenn shifted away from pewter and onto interior design and architect-designed furniture. In 1934, Ericson offered the Austrian architect Josef Frank a position within the firm, which proved to be an important driving collaboration for Svenskt Tenn. Ericson and Frank developed an iconic style that while adopting some of the tenets of functionalism, maintained a warmth, 51 E 10th ST • NEW YORK, NY 10003 phone 212 343 0471 • fax 212 343 0472 51 E 10th ST • NEW YORK, NY 10003 [email protected] • hostlerburrows.com phone 212 343 0471 • fax 212 343 0472 [email protected] • hostlerburrows.com sophistication and elegance particular to the Svenskt Tenn brand.
