Norwegian Shelves

This Scandinavian freestanding “Ergo" 3-Bay teak modular shelving unit was designed by John Texmon and Einar Blindheim for Blindheim Mobelfabrikk, Norway in the 1960s. The gently curved edges of the cabinets and nicely sculpted elevated legs make for a very elegant statement piece. This particular system is well-balanced and symmetrical, with a central bar, flanked by two cabinets, two cupboards and four shelves. This shelving system with four uprights, can be moved to any configration and includes four shelves, two cabinets with a diamond shaped design on the sliding glass doors, backed with the original period green backing boards, which are also in the rear of both cupboards and bar. The two matching cupboards have sliding doors with a single shelf, and the dropdown bar, with key, opens to reveal the original Mica laminate bar in a fantastic grey and white sixties pattern. In very clean vintage condition, the set is still wearing its original finish and has recently been gently oiled and is ready to be fitted.

Working intuitively with hands-on techniques and a wide range of materials, young Norwegian designer Sigve Knutson creates objects that question contemporary mass-produced design. After presenting the critically acclaimed solo project Drawn to Production with Carwan Gallery during Milan Design Week in 2017, Knutson presents a new solo show at the gallery with works created in the past five years — including new objects inspired by the local context of Piraeus and created specially for the exhibition. Entitled Assembly, the exhibition explores the freehand, improvisatory approach that is part of Knutson’s practice, which is often driven by the pure joy of putting things together without planning or designing anything in advance. Each object he creates is unique and results from a process led by experimentation and an intuitive use of tools, to create archetypal forms that, in the designer’s own words, display different “gradients of functionality”. Abstract wood columns thus coexist in his work with playfully stacked shelves...
