Scandinavian pinewood bowl by Stig Johnsson for Smålandsslöjd, Sweden, 1970s

About the Item

A large organically shaped pinewood bowl designed and produced by Stig Johnsson for Smålandsslöjd in the 1970s. Turned from a piece of edge glued Swedish pinewood. Hallmarked “Smålandsslöjd Stig Johnsson” underneath. Pine is a common tree in Sweden, found in forests all over the country. Modernist architects in the 1940s and '50s often preferred more exclusive types of wood, creating chairs and tables crafted from rosewood, mahogany, and teak. But in reaction to this, some designers started using pinewood, a material traditionally used in peasant society for creating everything from furniture and tableware to houses. Axel-Einar Hjorth used pinewood for his “Sportstugemöbler” as early as the 1920s, and the material experienced a revival in the 1970s when rustic furniture started replacing the elegant and exclusive pieces produced in earlier decades.
