Design Sale X

Crafoord Auktioners Design Sale features this time over 300 (!) lots. With numbers like that, it goes without saying that the roster of renowned designers is both long and illustrious. We’ll get to some of those names in just a moment — but first, it’s worth noting that a few gems in this curated selection come without attribution. One such piece is a wonderfully plump armchair, the perfect standalone statement for any modern interior. In this case, form and comfort do all the talking.

But now, back to the name-dropping: Axel Einar Hjorth, Josef Frank, Charles and Ray Eames, Simon Gate, Carl Malmsten, Wilhelm Kåge, Erik Höglund — and just when you might need to catch your breath, the list continues with Hans-Agne Jakobsson, Gunnar Nylund, Signe Persson-Melin, Gunnar Cyrén, Tyra Lundgren, and Georg Jensen. And that’s just the start of an auction that spans from the nature-inspired innovations of the late 19th century, through the refined elegance of Swedish Grace and Swedish Modern, into the everyday design ideals of the 1950s and 60s, and finally landing in the playful, postmodern disruptions that shook up design history yet again.

A rich and varied catalogue indeed — all waiting for you at Crafoord Auktioner. Welcome!
