Art Nouveau & Jugend – The Nature Era of the Turn of the Century.
During the 1890s, a new decorative movement emerged in European architecture and design. It was a reaction against the retrospective neo-styles and pompous interiors that had dominated bourgeois homes for nearly half a century.
The new art form, though varying slightly in expression depending on its location, shared the same core ideals. Nature and its organic lines served as the primary inspiration, with plants, flowers, animals, and elongated female figures frequently appearing as surface decorations and ornaments.

Shaped by time (textiles).
Every thread that remains intact after generations of use is a testament to the skill of the weaver, the integrity of the material, and the care of those who kept it. The irregularities of a hand-knotted pile, the subtle shifts in tone across a tapestry — these are not flaws but fingerprints of the making, details that deepen with time rather than diminish.
The material presented in the shape of Barbro Nilsson´s carpet, AB Märta Måås-Fjetterström, tapestry technique, designed in 1943.

70s Design: Bold, Bright and Back Again.
The 1970s marked a radical break from restrained modernism, embracing excess, experimentation and personal expression. Designers pushed boundaries with bold colour, expressive forms and unconventional materials – creating interiors that felt playful, personal and unapologetically different.
In this talk with specialist Kayleigh Davies, we explore the cultural forces behind 70s design, its daring approach to colour and materials, and why original pieces from the era are once again shaping contemporary interiors and attracting collectors today.
Free of charge. Online talk. 28 April, 8.00–8.45 pm CEST.
