Marta de la Rica Selected Favourites
Josef Frank Flower Table
Estimate: 20 000 - 30 000 SEK
“A burst of optimism in solid form.”
Its joyful color and free spirit reflect Frank’s belief that design should make us smile. This table blooms even without flowers — a reminder that color itself can be a source of life.
Märta Måås-Fjetterström, Carpet “Joakim”
Estimate: 100 000 - 125 000 SEK
“Weaving stories, one thread at a time.”
I chose this piece for its balance between geometry and emotion. Within its weave lies the soul of Scandinavian design — order, warmth, and humanity.
Kay Bojesen, Silver Matchbox Case
Estimate: 18 000 - 20 000 SEK
“Elegance in the everyday.”
I’m drawn to how it elevates a simple gesture — striking a match — into a small ritual. It’s poetry in detail: the nobility of material applied to a humble object.
Niels Holger Rasmussen, Oak Stool
Estimate: 60 000 - 80 000 SEK
“Craft as character.”
With its solid structure and almost anthropomorphic turned legs, it feels like a small functional sculpture. A tribute to Danish craftsmanship and wit.
Susanne Henriquaes A tapestry triptych, 'Strukturerad natur'
Estimate: 30 000 - 40 000 SEK
“Soft landscapes of memory.”
I picked it for its painterly delicacy and its ability to evoke an emotional horizon. Both painting and textile — a landscape to be felt rather than seen.
