Title: Ett två trä!
Description: Designers and architects have traditionally been inspired by nature and used wood as an important design material. Amongst Swedish designers, the popularity of wood has waxed and waned over time - culminating in the hysterical 1970s pine mania, when every kitchen table was made of a thick solid wood top and untreated pine was the finest one could have. But eventually the world had enough! Wood became just about banned by designers for a pretty a long time. Pine-haters took over. However, now, in the tracks of ecological and environmental awareness, the woods have become accepted again and designers - not just in Sweden but everywhere - have taken wood to new heights. This new wave of wood's popularity is expressed in this summer's large design exhibition: 'One, Two, Tree!' - Artipelag's first all-design exhibition. On nearly 13,000 square feet, we let the woods into the living room, mix high with low, house with milking stool, boats with playhouses, and particleboard with hardwood.0Exhibition: Artipelag, Stockholm, Sweden (14.6.-21.8.2013).
