Ingmar Bergman's note-scrawled cabinet

H0220117

Which is what my laptop is looking like, with the daily scribblings of our new usernames and passwords.
Thanks a lot, hacker.


Aside from that, Bergman's estate was put on the block in 2009 by the Swedish auction house Bukowskis. Going through the catalog you can see what a well-heeled Scandinavian house should be furnished with. Not just the obvious designers- and actually there was no Aalto- but lesser known Nordic furniture makers and craftsmen, most everything in shades of wood and white.

Two favorites:
One of two Bruno Mathsson Pernilla 69 lounge chairs:

and a 1960's glass sculpture by Goran Waarf for Kosta.

Definitely check out the catalog, and the rest of Bukowskis back catalogs. The photos get incredibly huge (for the absentee bidders) so it's an excellent resource for your reference libraries.
