Modernity Stockholm 20th Century Scandinavian Masterpieces Modernity specializes in the collection and sale of rare and high-grade furniture, ceramics, glass, lighting and jewellery by the most renowned Scandinavian designers of the 20th Century. Their large collection includes design classics by Hans J. Wegner, Finn Juhl, Arne Jacobsen, Alvar Aalto, Axel Salto, and Berndt Friberg, to name a few.

With a strong emphasis on post-war design, Modernity has established itself as one of the leading design galleries in northern Europe.

Besides maintaining their much-frequented showrooms in central Stockholm, and Marylebone, London, Modernity has continuously supplied pieces to international collectors and museums, including MoMA, and the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York, the LACMA in Los Angeles and the National Museum in Stockholm.

Modernity is a regular exhibitor at various international art and design shows in London, New York, Paris, and at home in Stockholm. Andrew Duncanson, the owner and director of Modernity, regularly holds lectures on issues surrounding 20th Century Design and is often called upon to advise private collectors. Andrew has been a member of the jury for the Swedish Design Association’s annual exhibition at Stockholm’s Museum of Architecture, and is also a member of the selection committee at the prestigious Pavilion of Art & Design fairs in London and Paris.
