DescriptionDescription: The jar with was designed by the modernism-focused visual artist Gösta Adrian-Nilsson, GAN. In a letter to the pewter company’s director Astrid M. Aagesen he expressed how pleased he was with his new apartment in Stockholm: “I’m living in functionalist style … my window is two metres wide and brings the entire fairytale cityscape indoors... It’s fitting that I live in an environment that I have helped to prepare.”
