KURT ØSTERVIG


Seguramente este nombre nunca antes lo habran escuchado, pero eso es muy interesante, ya qe descubrir nuevos diseñadores en el mundo del coleccionismo, abre los horizontes, y apertura la idea de renovar y seguir coleccionando.
Y tal como se dice en coleccionismo.
LA MEJOR PIEZA ES...LA PROXIMA QUE VOY A COMPRAR.
 Este diseñador maravilloso cumple con el reto de hacer ver organicas todas sus propuestas, tiene una mesa producto de su propio estudio y fabrica de muebles.
Esta mesa de 2,40m impresiona a la vista, ademas de la bella combinacion de entre la teca oscura y el bronce en la estructura inferior.
Si les gusto Kurt Ostervig, vengan a Freak Hansen para que la puedan admirar.
Anexo biografia.

Kurt Østervig 1912 - 1986.

Kurt Østervig was educated as a ship building engineer at Odense Stålskibsværft, which soon led to his employment as a furniture designer with one of the leading furniture producers during the 1930s and 1940s - E. Knudsen's Design Studio, Odense, . 

In 1947 he opened his own studio becoming a freelance furniture designer.

During his career he developed all types of modern furniture and worked with many of the leading Scandinavian furniture factories of the period.

In the 1960s one of Kurt Østervig's design was accepted for exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. 

His search for challenges resulted in many original design solutions for specialized furniture used in rest homes, ships, hotels, and movie theaters.

Kurt Østervig's favourite material was oak, especially in combination with leather. He was well-known for his unusually detailed and perfect drawings, which resembled pieces of art or coloured photos than working drawings.
