Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Dissertation, Universität Turku, 2021 This study examines modern furniture art in Finland from the 1920s through the 1950s, focusing on the furniture designed and produced at the Boman furniture manufacturing company in Turku. Established in 1871, this family business was led in those decades by designer Carl-Johan Boman (1883–1969), who had worked as the artistic director of the company since 1906 and as managing director since 1920. The company also collaborated with other architects and designers. In the early 1920s, N. Boman Ltd was the oldest and largest furniture manufacturer in Finland, known for its skilful cabinetmakers, and expensive luxury furniture sets. By the 1950s, however, the typical products designed and manufactured by Boman included individual pieces of furniture made in small series as well as furniture (such as sofa-beds and space-saving chairs) designed for the small homes built after the war. This study examines Boman’s interpretations of modern furniture and how they changed over the decades of interest. It draws attention to examples of Boman’s production that were connected to diverse aspects of modern (or modernising) culture, such as changes in the gender system (as reflected in comfortable easy chairs for women in the late 1920s), the protection of designer’s commercial rights through international patents (e.g. the Z chair patented by Carl-Johan Boman in 1933 and his subsequent patents), new forms of lifestyle (a cocktail cabinet in 1947), expansion of the customer base (space-saving furniture inventions for small homes in the 1940s and 1950s) and the presentation of modern, postwar Finland at international design exhibitions after World War II [...]. |
