Book a lecture
fil. dr Christian Björk
Art historian/Senior lecturer
Extensive research into Schulz's practice as an interior architect and furniture designer is included in the publication of the book. Schulz wrote his own books, published the magazine Boet and as owner of Firma Boet he was a successful entrepreneur.
Christian lectures on Schulz's practice and shows a wide selection of contemporary and historical photographs and watercolors. In the lecture, both design and idea history perspectives, national and international, are given. Schulz was in many ways an outsider and had a hard time entering design history. The lecture explains why by discussing how design history came to be and the importance of it needing to be broadened.
