Uno sten Kristiansson
Swedish designer-siblings Uno Kristiansson and sten Kristiansson are best known to collectors of vintage furniture for their imaginative lighting and mirrors. As partners, Uno sten Kristiansson united high-quality, practical Scandinavian modern design with fresh innovation.
Uno and sten Kristiansson were born in southern Sweden. Their father was a furniture maker who owned a workshop Vittsjo that was named for the village in which it was located. In 1950, Uno opened his workshop in the same village. He called his company Luxus and brought his younger brother sten on board as a designer and builder.
Like lots of designers of the era, the Kristianssons favored traditional teak wood but also employed more forward-looking materials such as glass, acrylic, leather and plastic. While their work spoke to the organic forms and craftsmanship that is typical of many Scandinavian modern designers, the brothers created minimalist oak mirrors and shapely pine wall lights which often featured an integration of rattan that set them apart from other artisans in their field.
Around 1966, sten took over their fathers workshop and renamed it sten Kristiansson AB. He eventually returned the companys name to Vittsjo.
After 1970, Uno and sten Kristiansson focused primarily on lamps and mirrors. They designed most of these works in acrylic, and wood became more of a secondary material in their composition. Collectors and interior designers continue to prize the many inventive furnishings they produced.
