About the Item

A striking and unique wooden sculpture by Swedish artist Sigvard Nilsson, created for Söwe Konst during the 1970s. Entirely crafted in solid elm, this piece showcases Nilsson’s refined sense of form and rhythm. The dynamic composition of colorful, curved elements mounted on slender rods creates a sense of movement and balance, almost like a wooden mobile frozen in motion. Söwe Konst, a Swedish art collective active during the mid-20th century, became known for producing high-quality, handcrafted artworks in wood and other natural materials. Sigvard Nilsson was one of the notable contributors, celebrated for his ability to combine traditional craftsmanship with modernist aesthetics. • Designer/Artist: Sigvard Nilsson • Maker: Söwe Konst • Period: 1970s • Material: Elm wood, stained in multiple colors • Dimensions: Height 77 cm (30.3 in), Depth 30 x 35 cm (11.8 x 13.8 in) • Condition: Excellent vintage condition, with only minor signs of age and use A rare collector’s item that exemplifies the playful yet sophisticated spirit of Scandinavian 1970s design.
