Cast stainless steel modernist brutalist Norway design bowl or dish by Olav Joff. This vintage Scandinavian classic modernist/brutalist bowl has been produced around 1960. It is typical of the brutalist style with its repeated geometric shapes and rough-looking surface. It is marked on the base “Cast stainless steel 18-8 Norway design Olav Joff”.

Paul Evans is the key to understanding the Brutalist design style. Paul Evans was an iconic American furniture designer, sculptor, and artist who is famous for his contributions to the American Craft Movement of the 1970s and for his Brutalist-inspired sculpted metal furnishings which coincided with the proliferation of Brutalist architecture that flourished from the 1950s to the mid-1970s. The name brutalist began to infect just about any object produced in metal around the 1970s.

Brutalism in design can be characterized by repeated sharply angled geometry and often raw unpolished edges and rough surface. The difficulty in defining Brutalist design arises from its many intersections with modernist and even industrial-style objects.  Materials are rougher and coarser in Brutalism, lacking the polish of modernist pieces, and unlike industrial design objects that tend to be mass-produced, brutalist design objects express an idea of beauty over functionality, and tend to be produced in limited editions.
