Nordic Modernism

"The designs of AAS Gonzales Haase are investigations on various modes of assembling, and they are also forming assemblages between building, interior and objects, which are not just challenging convention, but also the viewer’s own imagination." Hehl Rainer

Since founding their Atelier for Architecture and Scenography in Berlin and Paris in 1999, Pierre Jorge Gonzalez and Judith Haase have experimented with new ways of approaching design at the confluence of art and architecture. Designing spaces that are narrative, performative and playful, Gonzalez Haase AAS apply to a range of projects including galleries, residential spaces, as well as to furniture and stage design. The interaction of lighting and architecture remains a primary focus for their conception of spatial contexts.

Hamletmachine Chair, 1987. Ref. 5431. Designed by Robert Wilson for Heiner Müller's play 'Hamletmachine'."If the assemblage becomes a happening it acts like an instrument that should be versatile enough to assemble almost any kind of imagination and project within a given space: sound, lighting, object design, architecture, movement, narrative construction, etc. Or, if we put it in the words of Robert Wilson, who probably more than any other artist is standing for the intersection between performing arts, scenography, visual arts, object design and architecture: 'The first thing you must know as an actor or director is the space you will inhabit. See the architecture; imagine where things can happen in space.'" Hehl Rainer

"If we consider assemblages as installations enabling disposition, architecture and furniture design are equally loosing their object quality in favor of multi‑scalar interaction.The distinction between architects who design objects and object designers who conceive architectures is then loosing ground. The more in-depth knowledge we have about the way things are assembled the more we are able to fine-tune the relationship between parts and the whole. And vice versa, if objects are projected like architectures their performance increase as they have the capacity to absorb more external factors. As soon as equipment is designed like architecture it acts itself as an assemblage—as a framework for spatial disposition pertinent enough to hold other objects and artifacts (in place)." Hehl Rainer

Assembling — Gonzalez Haase

The standout piece in the exhibition at Jacksons is a gold mosaic table depicting Apollo in the Chariot by Swedish artist Einar Forseth. The original mosaic top—one of the samples made in 1921 for the competition to design the Golden Hall of the City Hall in Stockholm—was produced by the leading glass firm for glass mosaics, Puhl &amp; Wagner in Berlin. Forseth and Puhl &amp; Wagner were then commissioned to design the interior of the Golden Hall. Between 1921 and 1923, more than 18 million glass mosaic tiles were installed there. Ref. 9132.

Ref. 9063, This black lacquered wood and velvet upholstered chair by Gunnar Asplund was designed 1922 to 1923 and is an original piece from the Skandia Theater.

Ref. 7472. Lacquered wood table base designed by Uno Åhren. Pewter engraved top by Tyra Lundgren. Stamped "SVENSKT TENN B8". B8 = year 1928. The works of Tyra Lundgren are driven by her commitment to both art and design. In the 20s she designed tableware for the Moser factory in Karlsbach.  She has been influenced by the artistic movement “Valori Plastici”. After having gained international success, Tyra Lundgren started collaborating with Italian designer Paolo Venini, one of the leading figures in the production of Murano glass.

The big international breakthrough for Swedish Grace and Swedish Design came at the Paris World Exhibition in 1925. The Swedish National Pavilion in Paris, designed by distinguished architect Carl Bergsten, took the form of a white neo-Greek temple with Ionic columns, furnished by Gunnar Asplund and Carl Malmsten. Artist Simon Gate designed Baroque-inspired covered urns that guarded the entrance hall. Uno Åhrén’s “Lady’s Salon” was a standout installation, admired as an international highlight of the decade. Engraved glass by Gate for Orrefors, ceramics by Wilhelm Kåge for Gustavsberg, and iron works from Näfveqvarns bruk also symbolized the accomplishments of the decorative arts by Sweden’s leading designers.

The Swedish National Pavilion captured the attention of the most demanding critics of the decade, and was awarded 31 grand prizes and a number of honour diplomas. The movement was embraced by the international press and Sweden was heralded as a leading nation in craft and design. The movement was subsequently dubbed “Swedish Grace” by English critic Morton Shand.

Neoclassical Pewter Box, inscribed Nils Fougstedt, Ref. 3325. Craftsman and sculptor Nils Fougstedt mainly worked in pewter, often creating engraved scenes of figures and animals. Together with Estrid Ericson he founded the company Svenskt Tenn. Engaging the in the neo-classicist movement in the 1920s, he later turned to functionalism. His unique, early pieces are today highly collectable.

Notable contemporary museums and collectors in the 1920’s were eager to acquire the objects displayed at these prestigious exhibitions. Due to the tremendous international success in Paris 1925, Sweden was the first European country to exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum in New York at the exhibition “Contemporary Swedish Decorative Arts” in 1927. For the first time, Swedish Grace was exposed to high-demanding consumers across the Atlantic in Manhattan. Näfveqvarn table No.10, Ref. 7641.

Exhibition View featuring one panel of artist Ola Kolehmainen's photographic septych “Gyllene Salen” (1999) on right.

Ref. 7263, Rare hand-carved lion and engraved copper top table by artist Anna Petrus, which was originally exhibited at the Paris World Exhibition in 1925. The copper tray features engravings of stylized fishing scenes. Oak base and tray signed A.Petrus.

Detail, Ref. 7263, Anna Petrus is one of the most exceptional Swedish artists of the early 20th century. Active in a group of avant-garde artists, she created new forms of artistic expression. Her work composes an imaginative mix of drama, dance, music, visual arts as well as furniture design. The artist's favored materials were stone, wood, marble, iron and tin. In her designs she often re-interpreted Greek myths and approached them from an innovative, feminist perspective. She frequently used the rebel lion as a symbol.

This short-lived period of Swedish Grace overlapped with the emergence of modernism at the Stockholm Exhibition of 1930, which was held in white exhibition halls and glass facades designed by chief architect Gunnar Asplund. Radical young architects focused on new functionalist ideas that demonstrated the Swedish contribution to international modern industrial design. Swedish Grace had been responsible for positioning Sweden as a leading nation in design during the 20th-century, and is now being revisited on this rare occasion at Jacksons.

Swedish Grace

No. 4248: Poul Henningsen's "Septima" Lamp from the 1930's, produced by Louis Poulsen, features wood moulded and acid etched glass shades with nickel-plated brass. Throughout his lifetime, Henningsen denounced what he viewed as artistic pretension in Scandinavian design and urged for a more utilitarian approach to accommodate good design for all. At the time of his death, he left over 100 lighting designs, some of which were issued posthumously.

No. 8667: Poul Henningsen's Star Chandelier made between 1931 and 1937, produced by Louis Poulsen, is a six-shaded lamp with 2/2 brown amber glass shades. Fitting in bronze patinated metal and stamped PH-2 patented.

No. 8939: Yrjö Kukkapuro's 100A Reflector Lamp, produced by Haimi, was designed in 1968 for the Milan Triennial in small edition. As a central figure in Finnish functionalist, Kukkapuro's furniture designs were intended to complement the architecture of the building without dominating it.

No. 9023: Aage Rafn's Ceiling Lamp, produced by Lauritz Rasmussen, was exhibited in the Danish Pavillion at the Paris World Fair 1925. It has a white single layer glass with gloss interior, matted exterior, and bronze fitment. As a supporter of Neoclassicism, Rafn ran his own design studio from 1916 until his death.

o. 5896: Henningsen's "Light of the Future" Ceiling Lamp, produced by Louis Poulsen, was designed in 1959 for "The House of the Day after Tomorrow" exhibition. It is reminiscent of the Artichoke Lamp in the Langelinie Pavilion. The lighting engineering is based on the color concept, that the red end of the light spectrum reproduced texture better than the colder color rays. Only about 15 lamps made in total.

No. 8988: Simon Henningsen's Ceiling Lamp "Casablanca" from the 1960s, manufactured by Lyfa. Square chromium-plated steel, lacquered interior. Simon Henningsen was the son of Else Strøyberg and Poul Henningsen. In 1948 he assumed his father‘s position as an architect for the amusement park Tivoli in Copenhagen.
