About the Item
A Pair of Matching Danish Mid Century Modern Glazed Teak Low Bookcases With Shaped Supports.
Provenance: The Estate of John Graham architect (1927-2021) of Harlow, Essex.
John Graham, was one of the key figures behind the design of Harlow new town in Essex. He was the architect responsible for the realisation of the Harvey Centre shopping complex, in 1980, as well as Adams House retail and office block in Market Square (and its landmark clock), completed around 1956 as one of the first buildings in the town centre. He later played a significant role in establishing the Gibberd Gallery, which opened in 2004.
Born in Manchester, John was the son of Mabel (nee Hyde) and Gilbert Graham, a chartered accountant, and went to Stretford grammar school. Following service with the Royal Engineers from 1945 to 1948 in the army of occupation in Germany, he obtained a first-class degree in architecture from Manchester University and in 1952 joined the Harlow Development Corporation.
John was awarded the Rome scholarship in 1953 and spent his time in Italy making measured drawings of Roman temples that would remain touchstones throughout his career.
John represented values that evolved after the two world wars: a pride in civic duty – if we all work together, we can make things better for everyone – and a belief that culture (art, music, football, religion or knitting) is essential for a good life. Such values underpinned the creation of new towns such as Harlow.
From 1960 until the end of his life, John lived in a prefabricated house on the edge of Harlow, in the shade of an ancient oak tree. He married Britt Båckstrom, a Swedish singer, in 1954; she died in 2005.
