The Scandinavian Stylish Design

This event has ended.
At Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum
Media: Ceramics

140 Arabic pots that are typical of Scandinavian regions will be displayed to trace the history of design through Finland pottery.
Designer cutlery featuring the popular Moomin characters will also be exhibited.
In 1873, the Arabia Art Department was started in the Arabian region outside of Helsinki as an umbrella studio under Sweden's Rorstrand. With a stream of high quality design from their talented artists, they turned independant in 1916. They are now a highly recognized national symbol, with products that are essential to the daily lives of Finnish people.

北欧のスタイリッシュ・デザイン　フィンランドのアラビア釜展

アラビアという名前に中近東を想像する人も、フィンランドとスエーデンの位置がごっちゃになっている人も、カイ・フランクという名前を聞いたことがない人も、近年注目を集めている「北欧デザイン」と世界的有名キャラクター「ムーミン」とくればこれは見に行かなきゃ！と、多くのデザインファンがこのレビューを読むまでもなくすでにフィンランドが誇るアラビア釜の造形を楽しんでいることでしょう。
