Good Fit

The villa below should have had some fitting furniture. Summin' like this hea:

Hans-Erik Johansson, Westberga.

Harry Bertoia, Knoll

Unknown, Swedish.

Fabricius/Kastholm, Nordisk solar.

Finn Juhl, Bovirke

And the floor should have been a carpeted, woven from jute or coconut or similar, like above, or here. "A rug on a rug?" you say? Perfeción, I say. With a Spanish accent.

Erik Herløw's Bungalow

Christmas was spent small fishers' hamlet Segelstorps strand, Skåne, Sweden, where in 1947 the 38-year old Danish arhitect and designer Erik Herløw, three years out of Kongelige Danske Kunstakademie and two years after staring his own firm, drew this summerhouse for clothing-magnate Harald Schlasberg.

Pictures by yours truly.

Erik Herløw went on to be a successful industrial designer, working for Georg Jensen, Royal Copenhagen, Dansk Aluminium Industri among others, being a founding member of Selskabet for Industriel Formgivning (the Danish Societ for Industrial Design) and becoming a proffessor in industrial design at the Kongelige Danske Kunstakademie between 1959 to 1979. He was also one in a long line of great designers to have worked for SAS, having designed the interior of the A-300 Airbus planes at the end of the 70's.

Today his most widely available design is the stainless steel flatware series Obelisk for Hackman.
