Summary / Abstract:

LTStraipsnyje aptariama 1919–1939 m. Vilniuje susiklosčiusi savita baldininkystės situacija. Atkreipiamas dėmesys, kad, nepaisant vis dar populiaraus retrospektyvizmo, XX a. 4 deš. išaugo naujovių plėtra. Pasitelkus istorinės, formaliosios ir stilistinės analizės metodus, siekiama atskleisti modernėjimo tendencijas vietos gamintojų gretose, baldų dizaine, švietime.

ENFurniture making in Interwar Vilnius remains an under-researched area largely because of the political situation of that time. Emigration among the population of Vilnius during and following WWII, transformation of domestic environments, industrialisation, and the nationalisation of the economy during the early Soviet period have contributed to the lack of publicly available material artefacts that could shed light on the modern housholds of Vilnius residents and furniture workshops of that time. Today it is often assumed that Interwar Vilnius residents were still furnishing their interiors in the modern and historicist fashion, and that the city was flooded with furniture imports from the major centres of Poland. In spite of the fact that, in a broader context, some residents of Vilnius were still prioritising the old-fashioned furniture, the paper makes an assumption that there must have been some modern furniture that was produced for the new modernist buildings. The paper also questions the idea that the city‘s interiors were furnished mostly with imported furniture. To this day, we still have very little information about the local furniture makers, but the paper argues that the city‘s furniture market was dominated by the work of Vilnius‘ own furniture makers who were actively participating in various shows throughout the 1930s. These claims are based on the analysis of iconographic and historiographic material, as well as the extant individual examples of furniture which are analysed by focusing on their stylistic features and comparing them with Polish furniture. The aim of the research is not only to discuss the furniture design of the Interwar period, but also to identify the personalities that contributed to the modernisation of Vilnius furniture making.The spread of modernist ideas was largely due to the Department of Fine Arts at Stephen Báthory University as well as various craft schools, individual furniture makers and workshop owners, popular culture, and, last but not least, Polish publications that circulated in the city and presented the latest fashions in interior and furniture design.
