Bromma Airport, Stockholm
by Erik Gonnar Asplund
1934
A competition design for Bromma Airport in Sweden by architect Erik Gunnar Asplund.
Asplund is predominantly remembered for his focus on functionalism, but this illustration is a playful departure. Colour is given primacy over form with the majority of the painting a serene and beautiful blue. The airport itself seems almost inconsequential. Yet, the juxtaposition works and the entire scene comes alive with the joyful interplay of line and colour.
His most famous work is Stockholm’s Public Library, hailed by critics as one of the finest examples of Scandinavian Classicism.
The original work is held by Drawing Matter, an organisation that explores the role of drawing in architectural thought and practice. We have collaborated with them to bring highlights from their extraordinary collection to a wider audience. Explore Drawing Matter here.

Our frames are fitted with an FSC timber sub-frame, providing stability and longevity to the outer frame and glass.
Your frame is designed to be hung using the split batten method (hanging guide here). This enables your frame to sit flush against the wall. If you would prefer the more traditional option of D-rings and picture wire instead, please leave a note for us at the cart when you place the order.
