Stockholms Auktionsverk Malmö pushes the boundaries of artistic expression as it presents Gunnar Berg – “Master of the West”, a theme in which furniture art is boldly combined with delicate, witty and thought-provoking jewellery.
A writing desk with a drop-front made from a SAAB car boot lid is an idiosyncratic yet perfectly functional piece, lacquered in the gentlest of hues. And then there are the cabinets. Perhaps one in gold leaf and asphalted spruce? Or glass and black-stained spruce? Or maybe sterling silver paired with reclaimed coral and recycled teak?
And do not, under any circumstances, miss the rings – eye candy of the highest order, pure delight for anyone wishing to adorn themselves with something decidedly outside the box. They could hardly be by anyone other than Gunnar Berg, the true “Master of the West”.
