An exhibition was organized with Finnish art crafts in Stockholm in 1941 (VAR? FORM). Gunnel Nyman designed the "Facet 1" model for this exhibition, and its abstract, sculptural design language was considered revolutionary.
The next exhibition in Stockholm was at Liljevalch in 1946 when the model "Facet 1" was exhibited but also "Facett II". Gunnel Nyman's new models were highlighted internationally.
