Lot Essay

Designed in 1955 for the Helsingborg Exhibition in Sweden highlighting arts and crafts as luxury design, Ingeborg Lundin's 'Äpplet' vase soon became her most famous design. Two years later, this design was exhibited at the Milan Triennale in 1957 where it received a gold medal. The well deserved award highlights Lundin's vase as a beautiful representation of the organic Modernist design movement that grew after World War II.
