The Cleveland Institute of Art will host the North American premiere of the traveling exhibition 17 Swedish Designers from November 6 through December 19, 2009 in its Reinberger Galleries. This exhibition features 17 female Swedish design professionals, all of whom have had their work exhibited in Galerie Pascale Cottard-Olsson, Sweden’s only gallery devoted exclusively to design.
On view will be more than 60 examples of high design in the form of furniture, textiles and functional and decorative works in glass, ceramics, wood, steel and other materials. Collectively, these pieces highlight the contributions of 17 Swedish women to modern design whose work ranges from functional objects to works of sculpture, jewelry, wall hangings and public art installations.
