ABOUT PRODUCTID 1962
This ceramic sculpture from 1980s Sweden presents a stylized human head mounted on a simple wooden base. The form is rooted in Scandinavian modernism: elongated, smooth contours and highly simplified facial features, with only the nose and a subtle suggestion of the mouth indicated, while the eyes and other details are omitted. The ceramic surface is matte and unglazed, rendered in a warm off-white or ivory tone that brings a soft, muted quality to the piece. The base, crafted from light honey-toned wood, gently contrasts the ceramic and introduces an organic warmth. The balanced proportions (29 × 11 × 10 cm) reinforce the sculpture’s minimalist expression. Its condition is excellent, with no visible damage, losses, or signs of wear. The sculpture speaks in the voice of 1980s Scandinavian restraint, when form and concept were given precedence over ornamentation. The elongated, detail-free head recalls a search for universal values and emotions through reduction of means. The matte ivory ceramic allows light to softly flow over the surface, accentuating subtle curves and transitions, as if inviting a moment of contemplation—hovering between the tangible and the imagined. This piece finds its place in interiors inspired by Scandinavian minimalism, modern eclecticism, or a gallery-like, collector’s atmosphere. It may be displayed on a light wood credenza, flanked by vessels in raw forms, or set against a neutral wall to accentuate the calm rhythm of the space. It can also be grouped with other ceramic or glass objects—especially those with matte surfaces and simple lines—to underscore its pure, evocative form.
