In the historical part of the exhibition, eight examples of successful businesses in industry and crafts in Halland from the 18th century onwards are presented: Lindome furniture, Törngren’s pottery, Monark, Köinge modeller, Falkenberg’s lighting, Oskarström’s linen factory, Origoverken and Judith Johansson’s weaving atelier in Knäred. Among other things, Falkenberg’s lighting fixtures for the city’s town hall are shown. Another design historical rediscovery is Bonni Rehnqvist’s period-typically decorated earthenware from Törngren’s pottery from the 1950s and 60s.
The contemporary part of the exhibition consists of the roughly 50 companies in Halland that have joined SPOK – everything from skilled craftsmen to high-tech industrial companies.
Det gaur is a local dialectal expression for “it works”, and that is precisely what this exhibition wants to demonstrate – that it has worked but also that it is still perfectly possible to produce locally.
The exhibition takes place in collaboration with SPOK Halland. > spok.se
