About the Item

This sculpture by Bertil Vallien is hand-forged in iron with a deliberately rough and direct expression. The form is simple and graphic, with the surface clearly showing the marks of the forging process. Originally sold as an interior object or bookend, it functions equally well as a decorative sculpture and reflects the straightforward, material-driven approach common in Swedish design of the 1970s.
