Eva-chairs by Bruno Mathsson continues to please

When it comes to interior design, almost all heard of the Swedish and Scandinavian schools and the pervasive style called Swedish Modern, or sometimes Swedish modernism. One of the leading names was the late Bruno Mathsson . He was born in 1907 into a family of woodworkers in Värnamo in Sweden and lived until 1988.

Although he was a student of the craft tradition in his country, went far beyond the Mathsson and used the shapes and styles that reflected the living things, that grasshoppers and humans. He wanted his
furniture would be practical and above all comfortable, but his real genius was that at the same time make it extremely beautiful.

His first big chair was "Grasshopper", which initially was a failure 1931st It would later be highly praised. See Eve was created first in 1934 was significantly faster acceptance by the public and was also praised by critics almost universally furniture. There is also a högryggad model which is less typical of his chair.

See Eva has the typical clean-Mathsson lines and curves, and a woven surface. The urpsprungliga chair was probably the beech trees, but many wood types were used and eventually saddle flock fabric could be made of virtually anything. Those who were in wartime could be produced by what the material was available for the moment, from paper to hemp.

The chair is still made Eve as a classic, and old and new states a hefty price tag, but virtually everyone who owns one thinks it is worth the price. Its surface can be individually adapted to any color schemes and situations, and choices of wood is different. Mathsson made chairs until the end of his life in 1988, and continued to make simple but attractive chairs and renewed them to suit different ages.
