\"Modernity's
Modernity’s gallery in Stockholm. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Andrew Duncanson is now one of the world\u2019s foremost dealers of collectible mid-century Scandinavian<\/a> and Nordic design. When he started out in his native Scotland, however, he dealt in contemporary design, and collecting mid-century modernism<\/a> was just a personal hobby. Then, in 1996, he moved to Stockholm, Sweden, and saw there was a large market for the kind of vintage Swedish, Danish and Finnish furniture<\/a> and decorative objects<\/a> he\u2019d been buying. \u201cI decided to combine my hobby with my career,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1998, he launched the Nordic design shop Modernity<\/a> in the heart of Stockholm\u2019s design district. \u201cWithin two weeks, the gallery, which I opened with my own collection, was half empty,\u201d Duncanson recalls. \u201cI had to get right out and buy new pieces, and it\u2019s been the same ever since.”<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

The gallery expanded in 2019 to London, where today it operates a location in the redeveloped Pimlico Road Design District<\/a>. Duncanson lectures regularly on 20th-century design, and Modernity has emerged as a go-to source<\/a> for interior designers, collectors and museums around the world, its objects represented in the holdings of such prestigious institutions as MoMA<\/a> and Cooper Hewitt<\/a>, in New York, and LACMA<\/a> in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the ever-growing appetite for Danish, Scandinavian and Finnish modern design in mind, we asked Duncanson to weigh in on the enduring appeal<\/a> of this style, from pieces by heavyweights Arne Jacobsen<\/a> and Alvar Aalto<\/a> to works by lesser-known ceramic<\/a> and glass<\/a> artists.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Alvar<\/a>
Alvar Aalto for Artek model 98 trolley, 1950s<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

How would you sum up the allure of Scandinavian modernism and Nordic design<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pared-down aesthetic combined with exquisite cabinetmaking techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What initially led these designers to pare things down?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Functionality and simplicity came as a reaction to superfluous decoration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto is one of the most recognizable names in mid-century modernism. What should we know about him?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alvar Aalto<\/a> is often referred to as the \u201cmaster of the curve.\u201d Those curves were made possible by steam-bending plywood<\/a>, evidenced in his famous chairs<\/a> for the Paimio Sanatorium<\/a> in southwest Finland [now a UNESCO World Heritage Site], which he designed. The chairs were made entirely from plywood without any padding and yet still give a high level of comfort because of the flexibility of the material. Aalto was also one of those architects who designed everything himself<\/a> for his projects, right down to door handles, ashtrays and even glassware. His pieces have become icons of modern Nordic design<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Alvar<\/a>
Alvar Aalto for OY Huonekalu-Ja Raken model 402 high-hack chair, 1930s <\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Which other designers would you single out?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I personally admire the more sculptural styles of Danish<\/a> designers such as Finn Juhl<\/a> and Peder Moos<\/a>. The level of handicraft required to produce the pieces was extremely high, especially in the case of Moos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danish, Swedish and Finnish designers were also making textiles, ceramics, glass, lighting and other wares. Could you tell us about a few of your favorite decorative objects?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a weakness for ceramics \u2014 especially Swedish mid-century ceramics<\/a> by artists like Berndt Friberg<\/a>, Wilhelm K\u00e5ge<\/a> and Carl-Harry St\u00e5lhane<\/a>. In terms of glass, one of my favorite pieces is the Apple by Ingeborg Lundin<\/a>. It\u2019s a 1960s masterpiece that earned her the nickname \u201cthe Balenciaga<\/a> of glass.\u201d We also represent a few contemporary ceramic artists, such as Sandra Davolio<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scandinavian modernism has been so influential over the past few decades and spawned so many contemporary copycats. What separates true vintage pieces from the many Scandi imitations?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Original [mid-century] manufacturers developed their designs working directly with the designers<\/a>, so the quality is much higher. If you take your inspiration from an existing original design, the essence of the design becomes diluted.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
