A "Concrete" armchair, Källemo, Värnamo, post 1981.
Concrete and iron, signed PROVSTOL / JONAS BOHLIN. Height 90 cm.
Editor Christer Mårdbrant (1948-2025), Stockholm.
Mårdbrant's interest in art, design, and antiques was broad, passionate, and tireless. His home in Gamla stan in Stockholm was filled with objects that had been acquired over the years with glowing enthusiasm and great care. Many epochs and styles coexisted, where contemporary art, folk art, Rococo, Danish design from the mid-20th century, and postmodern design harmonised in a highly personal interior.
