_____________________________________________________________
The Gustavian style is primarily characterised by its adaptation of French Neoclassicism, and its relative simplicity. Key elements of the style include: Symmetry and proportion: Following classical ideals, Gustavian design adhered to strict symmetry, with geometric shapes and balanced proportions.
The style is marked by a return to classical ideals, with a focus on restrained decoration, symmetry, and proportion. The Gustavian style is often described as a reaction against the excesses of Rococo, seeking simplicity and elegance, while maintaining classical references.

Grete Juel Jalk est née à Copenhague. Après avoir été diplômée de l'école secondaire, section langues et philosophie, elle a étudié à l'École de design pour femmes (de 1940 à 1943) avec l’ ébéniste Karen Margrethe Conradsen. Elle a terminé ses études à la Danish Design School en 1946, et a également suivi un enseignement avec Kaare Klint à l'Académie royale des beaux-arts du Danemark.

L’intérêt pour ces modèles non conventionnels a progressé lentement. En 1963, le journal anglais The Daily Mirror...
