Original Description
Eric Höglund's Funkishus captivates with its bold, modernist energy—an unapologetic celebration of Scandinavian functionalism tinged with playful folk art. Executed during Höglund's peak artistic period (1950s-60s), the work embodies Sweden's post-war design ethos, where raw craftsmanship met vibrant spontaneity. Characterized by thick black outlines, rhythmic geometric patterns, and earthy yet saturated hues—ochres, cerulean blues, fiery reds—the piece bridges medieval Swedish woodcarving traditions with mid-century avant-garde. Its asymmetrical composition and deliberate "imperfections" reject industrial perfectionism, reflecting Höglund's rebellion against sterile modernism. Today, Funkishus stands as a seminal artifact of the "Kosta Boda studio craft movement", influencing contemporary Nordic ceramics and textile design.
For interiors, Funkishus thrives in spaces craving warmth with edge. Ideal above a minimalist teak credenza in a study or as a focal point in a bohemian-chic living room, its 70x100cm scale demands breathing room—avoid cluttered walls. Pair with rough-hewn oak furniture or tubular steel designs (like Hans Wegner's chairs) to echo Höglund's material duality. Pull colors from its palette: mustard velvet cushions, navy throws, or terracotta planters create cohesion without matchy-matchy literalism. In offices, flank it with vintage Anglepoise lamps to amplify its graphic vitality. Crucially, light it with warm 2700K LEDs to enhance the pigment depth—harsh lighting flattens its handmade texture. This isn’t passive decor; it’s a conversation starter demanding bold companions.
