This original vintage poster from 1938 promotes the "Vi Bo i Ribershus" exhibition, featuring a design by the esteemed Anders Beckman that merges illustration and photography. It showcases a family photograph integrated into a draft drawing of a dining room, characterized by dark red and blue hues alongside black and white elements.
Ribershus, located in western Malmö between Turbinen and Roslins väg, exemplifies classic functionalist architecture and garnered national attention during its inauguration on September 7, 1938, as part of the Vi Bo housing fair.
The exhibition was organized by "Svensk Form," formerly known as "Svenska Slöjdföreningen," a Swedish association mandated by the government to promote Swedish design domestically and internationally. Over the years, the Swedish Craft Association has spearheaded numerous significant exhibitions across Sweden, including the Stockholm Exhibition in 1851 and 1930, as well as the Vi Bo i Ribershus exhibition in 1938.
In excellent condition, this rare poster is sure to appeal to architectural enthusiasts and collectors alike.
