CYLINDRA


GALLERY


A contemporary gallery, Cylindra Gallery focuses on Peter Opsvik’s work.
His ergonomic chairs are known across the globe, including the Tripp Trapp
chair and his different Balans chairs, but at Cylindra Gallery, he focuses on
furniture objects and cabinet-like paintings. Welcome to Cylindra Gallery:
a symbiotic experience of art, furniture and nature.

“Peter Opsvik’s cabinets play on the duality between the closed and the open.
They exist as a kind of objectified thing somewhere between functional furniture
and existential art. Some of his cabinets bear a closer resemblance to a rectangular
painting, where the doors are openable hatches, like those on an advent calendar.
In others, the whole cabinet consists of fold-out elements, reminiscent of a Japanese
origami figure, or several uniting in a cabinet,” Allis Helleland, former director at the
Museum of Art, Architecture and Design in Oslo once said.
