Gunnar Asplund
Swedish, 1885 - 1940
Gunnar Asplund (1885-1940) was a Swedish architect and designer, known for his contributions to the modernist movement in architecture. Asplund's work is characterized by a functionalist approach, emphasizing simplicity, functionality, and the use of modern materials.
Asplund was born in Stockholm, Sweden and studied at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. He worked as an architect in various firms before establishing his own practice in 1917. Asplund is known for his innovative use of materials and his ability to create light-filled, open spaces that connect the interior and exterior of buildings.
Some of Asplund's most notable works include the Stockholm Public Library (1928-1929), the Skogskyrkogården Cemetery in Stockholm (1917-1940), and the Stockholm Exhibition (1930). He also designed furniture and lighting fixtures, including the "Three-Screen Lamp" (1929) and the "Table Lamp No. 1" (1931), both of which are considered design classics.
Asplund's work had a significant influence on modern architecture and design, both in Sweden and internationally. He was awarded the Royal Gold Medal by the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1931 and was posthumously awarded the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal in 1950.
