Precious metal & precious stones: artworks & design; Photographs: collections; Individual designers
The first English-language monograph on silversmith, sculptor, jeweler, and artist Wiwen Nilsson, whose work is a gem in the history of Swedish design.

Featuring superb new photography, stunning archive imagery, and texts by leading international curators, commentators, and experts, this book is the first English-language monograph dedicated to the life and work of Wiwen Nilsson, a pioneer of art deco and mid-century design and silverware. Lavishly illustrated and deeply insightful, the book provides an overview of Nilsson’s personal and professional development, bringing the main facets of his artistic and functional production into sharp focus, as well as presenting important new research about his achievements.

A particular emphasis is placed on the interdisciplinary nature of Wiwen Nilsson’s practice, and notably on the bridge he built between the realm of fine arts and the world of design.

The book includes thematic essays focusing on his silverware products—his sculptural oeuvre, his jewelry production, and his participation in Swedish and international exhibitions. Contributors include Dr. Flavia Frigeri (National Portrait Gallery, UK), Alice Rawsthorn (award-winning design critic), Dr. Teresa Kittler (University of York, UK), and Clare Philips (Victoria & Albert Museum, UK).
