  Retro Art Glass: Vintage Swedish modern art glass huge

  1 save, 1 month ago

  Very large art glass mid-century modern bird figurine. Solid Glass 4.5 lb stylized bird.  In the Swedish Modern fashion, very popular in the 1950s. Anything 'Swedish' was adored by the Americans during the mid-century years. This stunning bird looks like the Pilgrim Art Glass 'Swedish Modern' line bird.  BUT...it was not made by Pilgrim Art Glass.  This bird may have been made in the Scandinavian/Swedish countries.  American makers, such as Pilgrim, often copied Scandinavian styles because they were so popular. See images 5 & 6  - Image #6 is a Pilgrim Swedish Modern bird with label.  The Pilgrim bird has an intentional stretched air bubble in the center of the glass.  The bird offered here (seen in images 1 -5)  is solid glass, no air bubble. Although both birds are approximately the same size, this solid glass bird weighs 1.25 lbs more than the Pilgrim bird. The cased glass effect was made by using amber stained glass, applying a layer of clear glass and then hand-working the glass into the object shape.  The clear glass eyes and beak are applied. The flat seat has bottom-wear (tiny scratches on the seat occuring from years of surface contact).  Glass has a few random airbubbles trapped inside and has evidence of hand-working. Measures 12.25' long, 10.25' tall.  Weighs 4.25 lbs. In excellent condition. Shown in image 1 with an oversized 10.5' tall blown cased goblet (available separately). Shown in image 2 with a 3.25' tall green glass bird. Dark spots in images are from the light reflection from the flat base. retroartglass.com

  Inger Blix Kvammen at Velvet da Vinci Gallery

  10 saves, 20 months ago

  These are the words of jewelery designer Inger Blix Kvammen from Kirkenes in the north of Norway. Drawing on her north-Norwegian background, Kvammen has one foot in Norwegian mythology and the other in international jewelery design. With textile techniques such as knitting and different forms of traditional weaving, she makes her jewelery using materials such as gold, copper and oxidized silver. Her relationship with nature also inspires use of exotic materials such as skin from fish. The symbolic and the decorative go hand in hand in Inger Blix Kvammen’s art.

  Arkinetia - Revista Electrónica de Arquitectura - 24H

  9 saves, 28 months ago

  This extension is to an original cabin from the 1800’s, located on the shore of the lake Övre Gla in the nature reserve Glaskogen in Sweden. According to Swedish building regulations it is not allowed to make an extension that exceeds a maximum floor area. A second priority for the building regulations is its proximity to the border of the estate, in this case the extraordinary location along a stream, which forms part of the site boundary. The building should stay 4,5 meters clear of the site boundary.

  This pine wood chair, made from one single plank, originates from an antique Andalusian birth chair. The construction is very light, less than 4.4 lbs (2 kg) and with its architectural and modest expression, it is ideally suited for café environments. The chair is still in prototype stage looking for a producer and best of all, despite its uncomfortable looks, it is extremely comfortable!” As put forth on red house, you can email Ulf at Ulf.Jansson@condesign.se
