CFHILL has made a selection of unique objects from Modernity’s treasure trove. On view through March 9, the exhibition showcases functional objects doesn’t seem strange to viewers at all. The key concept here is the genius of the hand.The participating designers include: Carl-Harry Stalhane, Paavo Tynell, Alvar Aalto, Arne Jacobsen, Arne Vodder, Bruno Mathsson, Ernst Kuhn, Erik Chambert, Eszter Imre, Finn Juhl, Poul Dinesen, Gunnar Nylund, Gunnar Wennerberg, Poul Hundevad, Josef Frank, Kaare Klint, Sergio Bustamente, Peder Moos, Eva Hild, Eliel Saarinen, Toini Muona, Sandra Davolio, Robert Deblander, Verner Panton, Marcel Breuer, Uno Ahren/Bjorn Tradgardh, Edvard and Tove Kindt-Larsen, Barbro Nilsson, Hans J. Wegner, and Marta Maas-Fjetterstrom.A major attraction of the exhibition is the section titled “Paavo Tynell – The Scandinavian Master of Light.” In this section, the exhibition features works by the artist who has often been called “the man who illuminated Finland.” Paavo Tynell (1890–1973) belonged to the group centred on the great guru Alvar Aalto, but soon made his own name, and became an essential contributor on Aalto’s larger projects, such as the famous sanatorium in Paimio. Unlike his colleague Arne Vodder, for example, Tynell converted industrial machinery into natural shapes and shadows.The exhibition also features works by another influential Scandinavian artist Barbro Nilsson. Talking about Nilsson, the gallery stated, “When founder Marta Maas Fjetterstrom passed on in 1941, Barbro Nilsson (1899–1983) was chosen to be the artistic leader of the MMF weaving studio. On her appointment in 1942, she was expected to guarantee innovation, in technical and spiritual terms as well as in terms of the variety of patterns. Swedish arts and crafts, traditional lifestyles, and modern interior decoration, Barbro Nilsson would go on to be the great genius of colour and patterns, who ensured that the MMF company will remain relevant even in the future.”Finn Juhl (1912–1989) designed furniture based on the human body and its characteristics. His distinctive models set him apart even within the highly individualistic Danish scene, and he thought more like a sculpture a furniture designer. Today, he is an international icon.The exhibition is on view through March 9, 2019 at CFHILL, Vastra Tradgardsgatan 9- 111 53 Stockholm, Sweden.For details, visit: https://www.cfhill.com/Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
