Sven Markelius modernist stacking chairs red and dark brown 1931 rare set of 10
By Bodafors, Sven Markelius, SMF Svenska Möbelfabriken Bodafors
Located in Forest, BE
Set of 10 minimal and elegant lightweight confortable stacking chairs by modernist architect Sven Markelius. Designed and produced for the orchestra of the Helsingborg theater in Sweden in 1931. These are dark brown stained birch with lots of patina. We did not touch anything to preserve the almost 100 years of use. On top of the seats there's a faux red leather nailed with brass nails. Still in good condition with patina and traces of use. Some stains can appear. They stack easily by ten and form a nice sculptural composition.
_____________________________________________________________
Sven Markelius né Sven Gottfrid Jonsson le 25 octobre 1889 à Stockholm et mort le 24 février 1972 à Danderyd en Suède, est un architecte suédois dont l'œuvre s'est essentiellement inscrite dans le mouvement fonctionnaliste.
Sven Markelius étudie à l'Institut royal de technologie et à l'Académie royale des arts de 1909 à 1913. Il entreprend ensuite un voyage d'étude en Allemagne et en Italie. Il se forme auprès des architectes Ragnar Östberg, Erik Lallerstedt et Ivar Tengbom. Après avoir participé avec succès à plusieurs concours architecturaux, il ouvre son propre cabinet en 1920.
En 1921, Sven Jonsson décide de changer son patronyme, en particulier parce que plusieurs de ses collègues architectes s'appellent aussi Jonsson (ou des variantes de ce même nom). Il s'inspire du nom du domaine familial situé en Östergötland, Mark, dont Markelius est une forme latinisée. Ce changement de patronyme ne concerne pas les autres membres de sa famille.
En 1927, Markelius entreprend un second voyage d'étude en Allemagne, au cours duquel il rencontre Walter Gropius, représentant de l'école du Bauhaus à Dessau. Les idées de Gropius vont avoir une influence décisive sur Markelius, qui devient l'un des membres prééminents du mouvement fonctionnaliste lorsque celui-ci fait son apparition en Suède à l'occasion de l'exposition de Stockholm de 1930. Lors de cette exposition, Markelius est responsable du département logement en compagnie de Kurt von Schmalensee, Uno Åhrén, Sigurd Lewerentz...

Sven Markelius 'Orchestra' Chairs Black & White
By Sven Markelius
Located in Antwerp, BE
Scandinavian modern, lacquered birch, stackable 'orchestra' chairs, Sven Markelius, Sweden, 1930s.
These modernist chairs were especially designed for the Helsingborg Concert Hall.
Clean and simple lines make these very early modernist chairs a great and timeless design.
These chairs would fit well in a modern day minimalist and zen interior, possibly combined with some brutalist and rustic elements.
The Helsingborg Concert Hall was of great importance as the first functionalist monumental building in Sweden. It was designed by Sven Markelius and was finished in 1932.
In 1925 a competition was launched and Markelius was invited. He had earlier, in 1918, come up with a proposal for a Concert Hall. Markelius came in third place in this competition after Lars Israel Wahlman...
