Textiles emblazoned with bold, vibrant supergraphics. Crave-worthy works of glass and ceramics. These are among the 175 objects, many we\u2019ve come to know and love, on view in a Barbara Bestor-designed exhibition, &#8220;Scandinavian Design and the United States, 1890-1980&#8221; at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The exhibit, for which the architect collaborated with curators Bobbye Tigerman and Monica Obniski is, however, more than a collection of objects. Instead, it takes a deeper dive into the design and cultural exchanges between the United States and the Nordic countries, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Iceland. In this aspect, it is said to be the first of its kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Spread across three rooms on the second floor of Renzo Piano\u2019s Broad Contemporary Art Museum (BCAM)\u00a0at LACMA, the exhibition builds upon ideas forming six thematic constructs. Examined are: Migration and Heritage; Teachers and Student; Travel Abroad; Selling the Scandinavian Dream; Design for Diplomacy; and Design for Social Change. Together they propose an alternative to the European-centric influence on American design history as presented by the <a href=\"https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/products\/women-of-bauhaus-get-a-spotlight-in-rug-collection-by-lulu-and-georgia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bauhaus<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" data-src=\"https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0031_V1_sm-1024x676.jpg\" alt=\"the entry to Barbara Bestor\u2019s exhibition, Scandinavian Design and the United States, 1890-1980 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, with a pink foundation and a colorful cutout exposing furniture\" class=\"wp-image-205560 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0031_V1_sm-1024x676.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0031_V1_sm-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0031_V1_sm-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0031_V1_sm.jpg 1500w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/676;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0031_V1_sm-1024x676.jpg\" alt=\"the entry to Barbara Bestor\u2019s exhibition, Scandinavian Design and the United States, 1890-1980 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, with a pink foundation and a colorful cutout exposing furniture\" class=\"wp-image-205560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0031_V1_sm-1024x676.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0031_V1_sm-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0031_V1_sm-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0031_V1_sm.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Entry to the exhibition.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Presented, for example are: the design haven Cranbrook; Scandinavian design as part of the United Nations headquarters building; and Niels Diffrient Humanscale ergonomic design guide for a range of bodies including wheelchair users. They\u2019re all part of the picture as is Dansk. Although founded by an American, the company took the Danish word to appeal to Americans\u2019 appreciation of Scandinavian design. The selling and merchandising of Nordic design to the U.S also comes into play with the merchandising boat, created of course, to reference a Viking ship. The Travel Abroad section touches upon a more disturbing event. It tells of the Black American artist Howard Smith moving to Finland to escape the racism and lack of professional opportunity at home. Ultimately, his story had a happy ending: his textile print for the firm Vallila was a popular export back to the U.S. for home d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0096_V1_sm-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"an assortment of Scandinavian chairs atop a dark blue platform\" class=\"wp-image-205561 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0096_V1_sm-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0096_V1_sm-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0096_V1_sm-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0096_V1_sm.jpg 1500w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0096_V1_sm-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"an assortment of Scandinavian chairs atop a dark blue platform\" class=\"wp-image-205561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0096_V1_sm-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0096_V1_sm-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0096_V1_sm-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/interiordesign.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Interior-Design-Barbara-Bestor-Scandinavian-Design-LACMA-BarbaraBestor_LACMA_101922_0096_V1_sm.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Color speaks to the traditions around brightly colored architecture, furniture, and toys from the region. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">For her part, Bestor, whose exhibition resum\u00e9 includes Albert Frey and Lina Bo Bardi at the Palm Springs Art Museum and Deborah Sussman loves Los Angeles at the erstwhile Woodbury University Hollywood Outpost, was a natural choice for the commission. Her mother, a northern European German emigrating to the U.S in the \u201860\u2019s, instilled a love of Danish furniture and Marimekko fashion. Growing up in Cambridge, she frequented the store Design Research, a temple to Scandinavian design. \u201cIn college and graduate school Alvar Aalto was my favorite architect, and four years ago I did a long trek through Finland,\u201d she continues the litany. \u201cThe exhibition design representing Finland for the 1939 World\u2019s Fair was a big inspiration.\u201d So was Sussman\u2019s environmental design for LA\u2019s 1984 Summer Olympics. Ergo the undulating plywood walls and platforms atop painted cardboard tubes. What\u2019s more? \u201cI still collect Marimekko. I consider my studio\u2019s work to be \u2018maximalist modernism.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">A collaboration among LACMA, the Milwaukee Art Museum, Sweden\u2019s Nationalmuseum, and Nasjonalmuseet, Oslo, the exhibition is up until February 5, 2023.
