Karlshamn Secondary School (Karlshamns Realskola/Väggaskolan), constructed 1912-1918.
Muut tiedot
The Secondary School "Väggaskolan" in Karlshamn, Blekinge, was Gunnar Asplund's first major building project and was constructed between 1912 and 1918. Asplund created a cohesive whole here, placing great emphasis on details, and he also designed the furnishings.
In a quote in a letter that is archived, dated 24 August 1915, he offered to design furniture and fixtures for the school for 600 kronor. The interior was manufactured by various local craftsmen according to Asplund's drawings. In the 1960s and 70s, the school was renovated, and the furnishings were sorted out, with only a few seeming to have been preserved for posterity.
