ARVID BÖHLMARKS LAMPFABRIK
Bukowskis is proud to present a curated collection of lighting fixtures from Arvid Böhlmarks lamp factory. The selection mainly focuses on the company’s production during the 1940s and 50s and the Swedish modern era with undulating shapes and organic materials.
During the first half of the 20th century, Böhlmarks was one of Scandinavia’s leading companies in the design and production of light fixtures. Alongside Nordiska Kompaniet in Nyköping, Ateljé Lyktan in Åhus and Bröderna Malmströms in Malmö, Böhlmarks in Stockholm was one of the industry’s most important players.
The company was founded in 1872 by Daniel Arvid Böhlmark. During the first years, the focus was on importing and sales of various kerosene and oil lamps as well as accessories. The company grew rapidly and the production of its own light fixtures took off. In order to meet the demand for new types of electric light fixtures with glass lamp shades of different qualities and techniques, the Pukeberg glass factory was acquired in 1894. This became an important event in the company’s development as it opened up opportunities for greater influence of self-designed luminaires. After the company acquired new premises for glass production in 1913, Pukeberg became one of Sweden’s largest glass manufacturers. Böhlmarks was now a market-leading company in the production of light fixtures and household glass with showrooms at two central addresses in Stockholm, Norrmalmstorg and Högbergsgatan 19-25, which was also the address for the light fixture factory. In its heyday, the company had over 400 employees. Between the 1920s and 1950s, Böhlmarks was a significant player in the Swedish design movement. It was an era that we today regard as a golden age for Swedish design and craftsmanship. During these decades, some of the country’s most significant luminaires were designed and produced at Böhlmarks. During the 1960s, however, demand wained. In connection with the closure of the factory in Stockholm in 1964, production was moved to Pukeberg. In 1965 Böhlmarks was bought by Ateljé Lyktan and several models are launched after that under their brand, including Gunnar Asplund’s classic lamp”6022”.
The first decades of the 20th century were characterized by an ambition to link artists to industry. Böhlmarks also followed the prevailing ideal and employed Elis Bergh as Artistic Director in the years 1906-1916. Elis Bergh, however, later came to make a bigger mark in design history after he left Böhlmarks and instead joined Kosta glasbruk. When then-architect Harald Notini came to Böhlmarks in 1916, he was hired as Artistic Director both for the Stockholm factory and for the glass production at Pukeberg. The new Artistic Director Notini led Böhlmarks in a modern, innovative direction that characterized above all the company’s range of new, contemporary light fixtures and glass. A large part of Böhlmark’s catalogs during the first half of the 20th century consisted of traditional chandeliers and other fixtures in older style imitations. Notini’s strength lay in pushing the company’s designers forward and producing what were considered at the time to be ground-breaking and distinctive designs. His personal expression spans between the most elegant Swedish Grace during the 1920s, strictly functionalist luminaires that were presented at the Stockholm exhibition in 1930, to the Swedish Modern aesthetic, which is highly appreciated today with luminaires in above all brass with details in glass, wood and leather from the 1940s and 50s.
Harald Elof Notini (1879-1959) was the son of the sculptor Axel Notini and received his artistic heritage from his father. He was trained as a sculptor and interior architect and studied in his younger years at Högre konstindustriella skolan, today known as Konstfack. Notini, who was active at Böhlmarks throughout his career, came to play a significant role in lighting design in Sweden during the first half of the 20th century. In the family’s genealogy, it can be read - “Harald became faithful to his company for the rest of his life” and that he still had his office and a lot of work duties until the age of 79 (1958). In a commemorative publication for Böhlmark’s 75th anniversary published in 1947, it is noted that Notini was active as an Artistic Director and continued to play a significant role in the design of lighting fixtures and household glass. Considering Böhlmarks’ extensive product catalogs, Notini must have had a designers office with several employed designers. A designer who probably had a great influence on the company’s design is Uno Westerberg, who was employed by Böhlmarks in 1935 as a designer of lighting glass. One of Westerberg and Notini’s luminaires is today represented at MoMA in New York. Westerberg took over as Artistic Director of Pukeberg after Böhlmarks closed down.
There were several named architects and designers who designed luminaires that Böhlmarks came to produce and also put into series production. An important person in this context is architect Gunnar Asplund, who designed a number of luminaires for Böhlmarks, including the iconic hemispherical Swedish Grace luminaire “6022”, which was shown at Verkstaden’s exhibition in 1920, as well as luminaires for the Town Hall in Gothenburg. The sculptor Alice Nordin, who created expressive Art Nouveau fixtures around the turn of the century in 1900, has also been of great importance to Böhlmarks.

HILDUR HANSSON COLLECTION

Hildur was left with their only child, Ingemar. Hildur Hansson had early on become good friends with Estrid Ericson (1894–1981), founder of Svenskt Tenn, and hence started to collect objects from Svenskt Tenn. An interest that continued over the years and their home was filled with some very special pieces of pewter as well as furniture from Svenskt Tenn.

ANNA PETRUS (1886–1949)
Anna Petrus is described as an independent person with a strong personality. She seems to have been a modern woman driven by passion for her work.
In her studio on Riddargatan in Stockholm, Anna Petrus began to take an interest in arts and crafts in the early 1920s. She began to create several different types of trays in different kinds of materials; pewter, copper and sometimes with elements of silver. The trays were provided with richly chiselled decoration and were sometimes combined with artistically carved oak lions. She continue with creating other works of art and collaborated with the foundry Herman Bergman to have her early models cast in pewter.
In 1922, Anna Petrus organized a show in her studio where she showed the tables she had created entirely herself, but also tables with a framework designed by Uno Åhrén. The latter were produced by Estrid Ericson and Firma Svenskt Tenn.
Anna Petrus was early on contracted to have some models to be launched and produced by Svenskt Tenn. Most of them are still being produced today.
Her design language was truly original, all but marked by the spirit of the times. The male lion was a motif that often returned in her designs. The lions she used in various contexts from the beginning of the 1920s until the 1930s differ from each other but are equally unmistakable designed by Anna Petrus

INGEGERD TORHAMN (1898-1994)
Ingegerd Torhamn was inspired by the contemporary abstract modernist art at the time, in the 1920-30s. Ahead of the 1930 Stockholm Exhibition she went to the director of the exhibition, Gunnar Asplund and was showing some of her scetches for rugs. Asplund much appreciated the concept and told Ingegerd Torhamn to have the carpets made after those drawings. At the exhibition the carpets were placed into some of the different architects’ interiors. Today these carpets are what Torhamn is most recognized for. Especially well-known from different photographs is the rug that was put into the architect Sven Markelius’ house.
The textiles of Ingegerd Torhamn are more related to contemporary art at the time, rather than to the textiles that otherwise was produced in Sweden. Torhamn and her husband Gunnar had taken part of the international art scene when spending quite some time in Paris in the mid 1920’s. This period inspired her a great deal. In the late 1920’s Torhamn went to Berlin and the Bauhaus. She saw Breuer’s tubular steel pieces of furniture and so much liked them that she brought a few of them back home. She said at some stage that ‘I was made for the modernism (funktionalism), it is like I have always waited for this to come’. Her textile oeuvre has sometimes been compared with the suprematistic art of the Russian Malevitj, sometimes they have been called ‘purist’. However, she was more or less neglected by her fellow artists and art historians at the time.
The Torhamn couple seem to have been good at their interior decorating wherever they lived with their family, however, it is very unlikely that she did create any other pieces of furniture of this dignity.

On the island, which was purchased a couple of years earlier, Dr. Englund had a small log cottage built from old logs from the demolished mission house in Spillersboda. The seller tells: “My father bought the table at NK when he wanted to decorate the cottage he built on Tättgrundet, which is next to Norröra, where the films “Saltkråkan” were filmed. He was interested in antiques and beautiful objects and decorated the cottage in a style inspired by Zorn and Dala cottages”.

UPCOMING HIGHLIGHT – A COLLABORATIVE SALE
A rare ‘spov’, a sandpiper bird by Birger Kaipiainen (Finland, 1915–1988). This rare beaded bird will be sold in collaboration between Bukowskis, Bruun Rasmussen and Bonhams during Bonhams Decorative Art + Design in New York.
Bonhams Modern Decorative Art + Design. December 14, 2022, 10am.
Birger Kaipiainen was a ceramic artist with a unique design language that expressed a rich fantasy world.
In 1937, at the age of 22, Kaipiainen started to work at Arabia, where he remained until 1954. That same year he went to Sweden to work for the Rörstrand factory, where he stayed working until 1958. In 1958 Kaipiainen returned to Finland and Arabia in Helsinki, where he remained until he died in 1988.
Kaipiainen’s early works were inspired by Byzantine art, and he often used a sgraffito technique where the motifs were scratched. In his later production, he often used small ceramic balls, beads, as decorative elements. These elaborate and flowering dishes are perhaps what he is most recognised for. The glazes were often colourful and intense, sometimes with iridescent shades of glaze. In addition to flowers and fruits, Kaipiainen often returned to his favourite motif with birds as a central motif.
Kaipiainen began experimenting with sculptural birds in the late 1950s, and he received the Grand Prix at the Triennale in Milan for a sandpiper bird sculpture in 1960.
A recurrent motif in Kaipiainen’s visual world is also the different clocks. It is said that it reminded Kaipiainen of his friend Kuovi who spoke about the migratory birds’ intrinsic clock. Hence the clocks in the belly of this beautifully blue-glazed bird.
