Johnny
Mattson
It´s said that Johnny Mattsson was born with a knife
in his hands. Maybe it is true, at least in a symbolic sense.
In 1941 Mattsson started his own studio Gefleslöjd, Sweden.
Ten years later, in 1951, he made his breakthrough as a renowned
artist with exibitions around Sweden. His work was quite comprehensive
and balanced between everyday objects and beautiful and elegant
arts, finely carved trays, bowls and sculptures. In 1954 he
became internationally known through the exibition Design
in Scandinavia in the USA. In 1955 his work was exhibited
at MOMA in NewYork.
