About the artist
John (Johnny) Filip Mattsson was a sculptor, woodcrafter and glass artist born in 1906 in Gävle Sweden. Through his father he has been working with wood from an early age and opened his first workshop in 1941, where he made candle sticks, table lamps and simple everyday goods of wood. His breakthrough came in the early 1950s when after exhibiting at Gävle Museum in 1952, he gained recognition and made a strong impression on the art and design establishments.
The daily newspaper in Stockholm wrote: „In pear wood, in teak, mahogany and old pine that he used from demolished buildings, he creates visions in wood of such sensitivity in the lines that one is captivated. Touching his bowls and dishes is a pleasure, for they almost flow into the hand that holds them. "
He considered himself unaffected by time and said that he would have probably expressed himself in the same way whenever he lived.
