Honest Forms
“We’ve begun to showcase the work of Axel Einar Hjorth, who was an infl uential Swedish designer from the 1920s through the 1940s. I love the simplicity of his pieces—his raw use of materials in designs that express strict modernist ideas while remaining functional. This chair was from a line of furniture made for the relaxation of the mind, eyes, and spirit. Hjorth is starting to command bigger prices. One piece of his recently sold for $57,000 at Christie’s.”
