Blomsterkiosken, Östra kyrkogården, Malmö

Architect: Sigurd Lewerentz (1885-1975),

Built in 1969

 

On the outskirts of the Eastern Cemetery (Östra kyrkogården) in Malmö is a brutal flower shop in concrete, built in 1969. The building has no gutters and the windows are secured with black grout.

 

Architect Sigurd Lewerentz (1885-1975) designed the house at the end of his life when he was over eighty years old. The building is his most stripped and extreme. People from all over the world comes to the shop to study Lewerentz solutions and work.

 

The Eastern Cemetery is famous for its design and beauty far beyond Swedens borders. The Cemetery was created by the architect Sigurd Lewerentz, who from 1916 until his death in 1975 was engaged in the cemetery's various stages of development. After a contest Lewerentz was chosen to design the cemetery and the related buildings.
