The work of Schulim Krimper holds a distinctive place within the field of mid-twentieth century Australian furniture design. Creating modern handcrafted timber furniture, he was a skilled craftsman whose European training and knowledge of international traditions and contemporary design developments informed his work. Krimper’s legacy has relevance to the design aesthetics and approaches evident in Bayside’s history of mid-century architecture.
This exhibition presents a range of Krimper’s furniture, including pieces from private collections which have never before been shown in public.
Curated by Kirsty Grant.
