Vintage Rare Scandinavian Craft Geometric Trivets by Kaija Aarikka
Located in Hyattsville, MD
Large 11 1/4 x 6 in.
Medium 7 1/4 x 7 1/4 in.
Small 5 3/8 x 5 3/8 in.
An ingenious and unusual wooden and metal wire rod trivet from the Finnish designer Kaija Aarikka. The Aarikka design house is over 50 years old, started in 1954 by Kaija Aarikka who, as a textile design student, was unable to find suitably attractive buttons for a suit she had created for a final assignment. She decided to carve her own - and was surprised that her five buttons turned out to be the star of the day. That same year she and her husband founded their company, called Aarikka Oy, and opened their first sales outlet in Helsinki. In the ensuing years the company has focused on creating unique decorative and household designs showcasing local Finnish materials - which entails quite a bit of birch wood. The wooden circles are echoed by the circular wire loops at the end of each row of rings. The construction allows it to be slightly flexible but quite sturdy, while the open loops allow air to circulate under the pot. The wires can be rotated. The Aarikka Finland...

Bertil Vallien Unique and Monumental Wall Sculpture in Glass and Wood, 1966
Located in Skanninge, SE
A very important early work by Bertil Vallien b. 1938.
Unique and monumental wall sculpture, hand painted and contour sawn wood.
Made in Sweden 1966. One of a kind!
The sculpture is depicting fishes in the water. It was commissioned by an optician in 1966.
That is why the eyes are made of oval glass mirrors. They are also hiding the holes where
you screw the sculpture to the wall.
The sculpture would be great in a fish restaurant or in an indoor pool area.
It will certainly make a statement wherever it will hang!
A photograph depicting the artist in front of the sculpture is included (see image)!
Fully signed and dated 1966 (see image).
The sculpture is in 3 parts. The upper part is in one piece. The lower part is in 2 pieces.
There are no problems hanging this on the wall. It is heavy but not that heavy.
Measurements:
The upper part, Lenght 226cm, height 68cm, 7cm deep.
The lower part, Lenght 245cm, height 75cm, 7cm deep.
As mounted as in the pictures: length 304cm, height 120cm.
Total length if one put these pieces after one another, circa 475cm.
You can put this sculpture on the wall with different combinations and variations.
In 2017 Flint Institute of Arts in Michigan bought the "One million Dollar Boat".
They paid one million dollars for the mixed media sculpture "Passage" made by Bertil Vallien.
