Contemporary Design Online

Welcome to this spring's themed auction of contemporary design, where we invite you to explore an exciting selection of furniture and works of art. As a response to modernism, design in the late 20th century took a more individualistic and playful direction. Materials, construction, form, and colour were no longer bound by formal structures and traditions. This culminated in the postmodern movement of the 1980s, led by the Italian design collective the Memphis Group - a style that still resonates today. Several renowned international and Swedish designers are represented in this auction, such as Mats Theselius, Hans-Agne Jakobsson, Carl-Axel Acking, Poul Kjærholm, Mario Marenco, Patricia Urquiola, Gerrit Rietveld and Eero Saarinen.
