Scandinavian Modern Design in Norway

May 19 @ 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Scandinavian Modern Design in Norway

May 19, 2024 | 7:00 p.m. CT

Location: Online on Zoom

Join Sons of Norway – Des Moines, Iowa, Marsteinen Lodge 1-596 for this online presentation with Vesterheim Chief Curator Laurann Gilbertson!

Norway’s contributions to the Scandinavian Modern Design movement were many, but the artists and products were not as well known as their Danish, Swedish, and Finnish counterparts. During the presentation, Laurann will introduce some of the most important designers of the mid-twentieth century and learn about their work in furniture, textiles, silver, glass, ceramics, and enamel.

This presentation is open to the public. Contact Sue Givant, sgivant@hotmail.com to sign up.

Vesterheim staff members can give presentations to cultural, community, and church groups on a variety of topics. Find more information about presentation options and how to schedule one for your group here.
