Axel Einar Hjorth: Mobelarkitekt (Book)
About the Item
by Christian Bjork, Eric Ericson & Thomas Ekstrom
During the years 19271938 Axel Einar Hjorth was chief architect at Nordiska Kompaniet, the most important position for a furniture architect during the interwar period. His exclusive furniture design also featured prominently at the major national and international exhibitions of the time. It was a period characterized by changing style ideals, from luxurious classicism to austere functionalism. Axel Einar Hjorth participated in this aesthetic transformation, but his work was unique and sometimes peculiar and often harshly criticized. As a leading furniture architect, he played an important role in the international breakthrough and reputation of Swedish design. Despite this, Swedish design history has not paid attention to him on merit. This book gives for the first time a broad overview of Axel Einar Hjorth's entire career from 1918 to the 1950s. 150 pages. 730 grams. Text: Swedish.
