A retrospective exception at The Stockholm Exhibition 1930
Emmy Fick worked during the first decades of the 20th century in Nordiska Kompaniet´s (NK) textile department. In 1908, Fick received a scholarship that would pay for a year’s studies in tailoring at The House of Woth. The House of Woth was the leading fashion house of the time. Fick and the colleague Elisabeth Glantzberg decided to combine their creativity and started the Birgitta School in 1910. They were each other’s opposites, Fick more of a traditionalist and Elisabeth Glantzberg more avant-garde.
The school was divided after only four years into two different schools with similar names - “Sankta Birgittaskolan” and “Birgittaskolan”. Fick came to lead the “Sankta Birgittaskolan” and had several clients from the Swedish ruling classes , while Glantzberg came to lead the “Birgittaskolan”, which had an egalitarian view and was appreciated by the ‘self-sufficient and educated women’.
Around 1930, several tapestrys where designed at Sankta Birgittaskolan. A common denominator were striking pictoral compositions with detailed appliqué work. During the same period, Fick collaborated with the artist Ossian Elgström. “Leif Eriksson discovers Vinland” was woven in 1929 and 1930 at Sankta Birgittaskolan after a design by Ossian Elgström for the newly married couple Count and Countess Folke and Estelle Bernadotte. The auctions tapestry was designed by Ruth Fischer with a motif taken from Selma Lagerlöf’s book “The Legend of Christmas Roses”. “The Legend of Christmas Roses” was exhibited at the Stockholm exhibition in 1930.

Orrefors Lighting
Bukowskis presents a curated selection of lighting from the Orrefors Glassworks, with designs ranging from 1920s classicism, via 1930s functionalism to the modernism of the following three decades.
The Orrefors Glassworks saw the light of day as early as 1898, but it was in the 1920s that it achieved world fame. The realization that only artists could renew the glass industry, the personalities and power struggles of the leading designers Simon Gate and Edward Hald, and a rapidly growing international industrialism were all important factors for this success. At the exhibitions in Gothenburg in 1923, Paris in 1925, New York and Chicago in 1927 and Stockholm in 1930, the glassworks from the deep woods of Småland stood out. Orrefors carefully followed the style shifts of the decades from Nordic classicism, through functionalism to modernism.
Already around 1919-20, Edward Hald designed some lamp shades with engraved decor. In the mid-1920s, a catalogue was released in a loose-leaf system with sketches by Gate and Hald, where chandeliers in Nordic classicist style were offered to “architects and other interested parties”. The shades were cut and etched in different patterns and Gate had, in the spirit of the times, provided his fixtures with tassels and prisms. The lighting fixtures from Orrefors started to gain attention. “Saturnus” in yellow tinted frosted glass was launched in 1929, followed in the 1930s by
a large range of ceiling lamps decorated with celestial patterns. Throughout his time as a glass designer, Edward Hald seems to have been particularly attached to the zodiac and other celestial motifs. Period-typical functionalist lamps consequently followed in the period after the Stockholm exhibition in 1930.
Around 1942, Fritz Kurz was hired as technical and to some extent artistic director of the lighting department. Production, in addition to cut and etched models, became increasingly “à la Venezia” with pompous chandeliers. Lighting designer Carl Fagerlund was employed at Orrefors in 1946 and the export market had become a major source of income. Orrefors lighting designed by Fagerlund was especially appreciated in the USA, and the largest supply of lighting fixtures ever issued by Orrefors was designed by Carl Fagerlund for the Kennedy Center in Washington, inaugurated in 1971. Over the years, most of the artists at Orrefors have designed several fixtures, where in addition to the above, Sven Palmqvist and Ingeborg Lundin should be highlighted.
Rarely, if ever, have Orrefors lighting in a scale of this selection been presented to the market, and through the following pages we aim to show the artistic diversity and richness of ideas that characterized the lighting department of Orrefors during its golden years.

100 YEARS WITH SVENSKT TENN
A SPECIAL JUBILEE SECTION
100 years with Svenskt Tenn
This year marks the 100th anniversary since Estrid Ericson founded her firm and life’s work, Svenskt Tenn, in 1924. At this autumn’s live auction Modern Art & Design, Bukowskis celebrates 100 years of Svenskt Tenn with a curated anniversary department featuring items from Svenskt Tenn’s early production. See catalogue number 241-278.
Already at the company’s 70th anniversary in 1994, Bukowskis honoured Svenskt Tenn with a curated anniversary department. Svenskt Tenn’s furniture and interior design items have since then amassed an ever-increasing interest from an ever-widening customer base. In recent years, Bukowskis has achieved several world records for Svenskt Tenn’s furniture at auction. With its timeless design and high quality, many of Svenskt Tenn’s items have now become classics that have a given place in many important interiors both in Sweden and internationally.
With her unique interior design philosophy and stylistic confidence, Estrid Ericson succeeded in creating a magical world where simple everyday objects could be combined with exclusive pieces of the highest quality. Estrid is said to have stated that “good things need no change” and believed that only the best is good enough, which has permeated Svenskt Tenn’s range of carefully selected items. The walls should preferably be white, a room should be sparingly furnished and leave room for free floor space, but otherwise, Estrid advocated freedom in interior design. She believed in mixing different colours, patterns, and materials to create a personal home: “It is not a certain constructed colour harmony that gives a home its personal touch. It is all the items that gather over a lifetime. Everything one once liked, and what one likes now. – Our homes are never fully finished; throughout our lives, we continue to build on them.” (Estrid Ericson in “Svenska ord och bilder”, 1938). Estrid Ericson came to Stockholm as a 19-year-old from the small town of Hjo and trained as a drawing teacher at the Tekniska skolan (now Konstfack). After a while, she was employed as a curator at Wikman & Wiklund’s shop Vackrare Vardagsvara at Strandvägen 7A. In 1923 a department with modern pewterware was conceived in collaboration with the brothers Nils and Tage Fougstedt. Estrid then decided to start her own business with modern pewter design.
With the help of an inheritance from her father Adolf Erikson, who had passed away that same year, Estrid started her firm Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm in the autumn of 1924. Nils Fougstedt became her first important collaborator. The shop opened at Smålandsgatan 40 in October 1925. In just a few months, Estrid and Nils had created about 300 different models. The models were inspired by various cultures, including pieces from the collections of the Ethnographic Museum in Stockholm, where Estrid found models of Peruvian ceramics that she then had made in pewter. In 1927, Svenskt Tenn moved to the new and current premises at Strandvägen 5A. Next to the shop was the small pewter workshop where the first items were made. Estrid commissioned the artist Akke Kumlien to design the company’s logo with two angels, “the most beautiful thing ever made” according to Estrid herself. Already in 1925, Svenskt Tenn participated in the World Exhibition in Paris and received two gold medals for its range of pewter articles.
Estrid Ericson had the good ability to constantly tie talented collaborators to her firm. Architect Uno Åhrén designed the interior of the new premises. Alongside Björn Trägårdh, he was also the one who designed the furniture for Estrid’s own apartment above the shop on Strandvägen. Estrid’s classmate and friend from her study days, the artist and designer Tyra Lundgren, contributed among other things with drawings for a tabletop and a bowl. In the years following the Paris Exhibition in 1925, Estrid began a collaboration with the sculptor Anna Petrus. Many items have since then been adorned with Petrus’ characteristic lions.
It was not until 10 years into the firm that Estrid began her collaboration with the Austrian architect Josef Frank. A new chapter in Svenskt Tenn’s history began in 1934 when Josef Frank’s design for the firm premiered at an exhibition for contemporary Swedish interior art at Liljevalchs in Stockholm. The entrepreneur and founder Estrid Ericson and the designer Josef Frank went on to develop a lifelong and very successful partnership. Josef Frank’s timeless furniture, textiles, and lighting, have since been appreciated by several generations.

Josef Frank – The Flora chest of drawers
Already during Josef Frank’s years at the firm Haus & Garten in Vienna in the early 1930s, he began covering cabinets with various materials, at that time with textiles such as chintz and cretonne. In parallel with Josef Frank’s work in Vienna, Estrid Ericson made a trip in the summer of 1930 to Uppsala and Carl von Linné’s Hammarby together with her friend, the author and poet Bo Bergman. Estrid was captivated by Linné’s idea of covering the bedroom walls with botanical prints. She was inspired to do something similar in her own bedroom in her Stockholm apartment. The upholstered furniture has become something of a hallmark of Svenskt Tenn’s most exclusive production. From the 1930s onwards, the furniture varied in different ways, where the choice of upholstery and model of the furniture provided different expressions. There were various types of prints with highly varying motifs and types of graphic prints, sometimes maps, different kinds of fabrics, and occasionally leather.
A few years after Josef Frank and Estrid Ericson began their collaboration in the 1930s, they created a cabinet and a chest of drawers upholstered with prints from Palmstruch’s flora, later from Lindman’s flora. The chests of drawers, with model no 1050, were produced from around 1940.
The “Flora” chest of drawers, has become a sought-after classic, so synonymous with Svenskt Tenn that in honour of the 300th anniversary of Carl von Linné’s birth in 2007, the firm produced a commemorative chest of drawers upholstered with the same type of botanical prints that Linné himself had in his bedroom, these by Georg Dionysius Ehret in the 18th century. “The Linné Flora chest of drawers” was produced in a limited edition of 50 examples.
The present auction presents a rare opportunity to acquire a pair of “Flora” chest of drawers.

FURNITURE AND WORKS OF ART
The Gunnar Asplund Family Collection
Bukowskis proudly presents significant objects from the Asplund family’s private collection. It comprises twelve lots from three generations: the architects Gunnar Asplund and Hans Asplund, and the diplomat and UN ambassador Bo Asplund.
Gunnar Asplund (1885-1940) is considered one of the most significant and leading architects during the interwar period, both in Sweden and internationally. Asplund is seen as one of the foremost representatives of 1920s Nordic classicism, with the Skandia Theatre (1922) and the Stockholm Public Library (1928) as prominent examples. He was also one of the pioneers of functionalism, which he introduced in Sweden with the Stockholm exhibition in 1930, where he was the chief architect.
Objects from the collection that come from Gunnar Asplund include a unique cabinet that he designed ca 1920 for his and his wife Gerda Sellman Asplund’s private home at Mosebacke torg in Stockholm. It later accompanied them to Långängens gård in Stocksund, where the family relocated in 1927. According to family tradition, the cabinet was executed at the Nordiska Kompaniet workshops in Nyköping at the request of Asplund, and it is Gerda who modelled for the carved female figure. The collection also offers a bronzed and gilded plaster model of Carl Milles’ “Angel of Death” that the sculptor conceived for Asplund’s Skogskapell (the Woodland Chapel) at Skogskyrkogården (the Woodland Cemetery) in Stockholm, and probably came into his possession in connection with the work on the Woodland Chapel. In addition, we find an important drop-leaf table veneered in sycamore and designed by architect colleague Carl Bergsten for the Stockholm Exhibition in 1930, as well as several catalogues and books with Asplund’s ex libris stamp, including material relating to the Stockholm Exhibition in 1930 and an early edition of the German Bau -
haus architect Walter Gropius’ “Internationale Architektur ” from 1927 with a personal inscription from Gropius to Asplund.
Gunnar’s son Hans Asplund (1921-1994) also became a prominent architect, involved with the United Nations architectural office in New York, the Kooperativa Förbundet’s architectural office and Nordiska Kompaniet during the 1940s and 50s. The present collection includes two armchairs designed by Hans Asplund for Nordiska Kompaniet’s beauty salon around 1955.
All objects have since passed by inheritance to Hans’ son Bo Asplund (1950-2024), a prominent diplomat and UN ambassador with international missions that took both himself and the present collection around the world. The six birch chairs with webbing seats that were designed by his grandfather Gunnar for the Stockholm Public LIbrary have served Bo well over the years. The collection also includes a copy of the “Senna” chair, the original of which Gunnar designed for the Swedish pavilion at the Paris Exhibition in 1925. The present chair is reportedly the very first produced in this edition, and sent as a gift from Cassina to Hans Asplund. When Cassina premiered the new edition in Copenhagen, Hans was present. The chair then had a prominent place in Hans and his wife Anne Asplund’s home at Grönegatan 32 in Lund, and when Hans passed away in 1994 it passed on to Bo.
In the present sale and in addition to the collection, Bukowskis is pleased to present a table, a set of chairs and a ceiling lamp from Karlshamn Secondary School designed by Gunnar Asplund and erected between 1912-18, as well as a set of eight chairs designed by Asplund for the Bredenberg department store in Stockholm around 1934-35.

Vivianna Torun Bülow-Hübe
Vivianna Torun Bülow Hübe was born in Malmö into a family where art was a natural part of everyday life. Her mother, Runa Bülow Hübe, was a sculptor and her father, Erik Bülow Hübe was a city planner. Torun had her first child, Pia, as an 18-year-old. She moved to Stockholm with her small child to start at her education at Konstfack.
In her spare time, Torun began working with simple materials such as cane, brass, leather etcetera and created African-inspired jewellery. She made these at home in her studio or in the park Humlegården while Pia was playing. She was given the opportunity to sell her creations to Estrid Ericson who sold them in her store “Svenskt Tenn” at Strandvägen.
In the summer of 1948, Torun went to Paris where she hung out in artistic circles with, for example, Braque, Brancusi, Matisse and others. In Paris, she met her husband to be, the architect Jean-Pierre Serbonnet, with whom she had her son Claude. The couple lived in Stockholm where Torun had a small studio. She sold her jewellery herself, but also via Svenskt Tenn and in a shop at Sibyllegatan. The family visited Paris frequently, and in 1952 Torun exhibited her jewellery in Paris for the first time. Torun had a license to stamp in both Sweden and France, therefore some of her jewellery has Swedish stamps, others French. In 1952 Torun divorced the French architect and in 1956 she moved to Paris and met her second husband, the African-American Walter Coleman. She came to spend time mainly with Walter’s friends in musicians and artist circles. Billie Holiday was one of Torun’s customers at the time.
Over time, it became difficult being African-American living in Paris and the couple moved to Biot. On the local beaches, she
Gunilla Palmstierna-Weiss
Gunilla Palmstierna-Weiss (1928-2022). Gunilla Palmstierna-Weiss and Torun Bülow-Hübe got to know each other while both studying at Konstfack, University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Palmstierna-Weiss is today best known for her work in the theatre world. She worked both with scenography and with costumes, internationally and in Sweden, often with her husband, the writer and artist Peter Weiss, but also on several occasions with Ingmar Bergman. At the University of Arts, Crafts and Design Palmstierna-Weiss studied ceramics among other things, and she later ran her own ceramics workshop in the mid-1950s.
During their time at school, the women collaborated on creating silver necklaces with stoneware designed by Palmstierna-Weiss, and
picked beach stones that she incorporated into her jewellery. Through various contacts, Torun had the opportunity to exhibit her jewellery at the Musée Picasso in 1958. Torun had her studio at home in her house. It was an active period with various apprentices and regular visits of Swedish blacksmiths. When her marriage ended in 1965, Torun took her children back to Sweden for a new start. Life became too lonely, though, and Torun moved to Germany in 1968. In this period, the collaboration with Georg Jensen began. When Jensen introduced Torun’s wellknown watch with mirror glass as a clock face, it was the first wristwatch in the company’s history.
The collaboration with Jensen gave Torun financial stability as well as the opportunity to experiment. In 1976, Torun started a studio in Indonesia where they made simple necklaces with mother of pearl and shells. The idea was philanthropic, she provided job opportunities, and the money would go back to the organization to finance orphanages, old people’s homes and hospital-cars, among other things. In 1978, Torun herself moved down to Indonesia.
Torun remained in Indonesia with her business until the late 1990s when she moved to Copenhagen with her daughter Marcia and her family. Torun exhibited a large number of times during the 1990s. She died of cancer in 2004.
Torun was a designer that wasn’t only a pioneering silversmith by being a woman. She was a pioneer in creating those beautiful modernistic pieces of jewellery based on silver combined with glass drops, beach stones etc in such a timeless manner that has given her such a fine world repute.
in the mid-1950s, they had a joint exhibition in Paris at Galerie du Siècle, a gallery that was an important venue in Bülow-Hübe’s career. Palmstierna-Weiss and Bülow-Hübe remained close friends throughout their lives.
The two silver necklaces that Bukowskis is delighted to present at the upcoming Modern Sale have never been on the market before, and both were made early in Bülow-Hübe’s career as she took her first steps on her long and highly successful path, but even then her minimalist yet sensual aesthetic that she refined until her passing in 2004 is strongly present.
