This remarkable original vintage poster, designed by Swedish architect Sigurd Lewerentz, transports us back to the 1930 Stockholm Exhibition.
The 1930 Stockholm Exhibition was a grand exposition of architecture, design, and craftsmanship set against the picturesque backdrop of Djurgårdsbrunnsviken in Stockholm. This ambitious undertaking was orchestrated by the Swedish Crafts Association (Svenska Slöjdföreningen), later evolving into Svensk Form, with visionary architects Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz at the helm of its design.
This event wielded a profound influence on architectural history, heralding the ascent of the Functionalism and International Style movements. The 1930 Stockholm Exhibition is widely recognized as a pivotal moment in the adoption of functionalist design in Sweden. The impact of this fair resonates throughout Stockholm's architectural legacy, firmly establishing functionalism as the prevailing style for years to come.
The poster stands as an enduring icon of Swedish creativity and innovation.
This specific poster is in Swedish and features parking instructions at the bottom.
The poster, in a very good condition and resplendent with vivid colors, has undergone professional restoration to address minor tears and general signs of wear. It has been expertly mounted on linen with an acid-free barrier to ensure its preservation for the long term.
