Experience craftsmanship
Honouring craftsmanship is a central part of Svenskt Tenn, which collaborates with 25 workshops and two glassworks across Sweden. Every day, cabinetmakers, glassblowers, seamstresses, metalworkers, ceramists and basketmakers create the furniture and interior details that form part of our assortment. Each year, Svenskt Tenn invites some of these skilled artisans to the store – offering an insight into the techniques and processes behind a selection of our iconic objects. Welcome to be inspired and to experience the craftsmanship at Strandvägen 5.
Oskar Hammar and Terese Jonsson from Humstorp Metall
On Friday, 18 September and Saturday, 19 September, Oskar Hammar and Terese Jonsson from Humstorp Metall will visit Svenskt Tenn’s store on Strandvägen 5 in Stockholm. They will demonstrate the craftsmanship behind some of Svenskt Tenn’s most well-known objects, including the Lion sculpture, designed by Anna Petrus, and the recently relaunched Chessboard by Marie-Louise Idestam-Blomberg.
In the store, Oskar Hammar and Terese Jonsson will demonstrate pewter casting by casting chess pieces and parts of Anna Petrus’s Lion sculpture. Using a melting pot and original permanent moulds – metal casting moulds – visitors will be able to follow parts of the process from casting to finished object.
The pewter objects, designed in the 1920s, are among the most complex objects produced by Humstorp Metall, and their production requires great precision and craftsmanship.
