A Pair of "Jetson" Armchairs, Bruno Mathsson for Dux, Sweden, 1965
Height: 96 cm; width: 90 cm
Condition: Upholstery warn out. Needs cleaning.
Notes: Bruno Mathsson (1907 –1988) was a Swedish furniture designer and architect inspired by functionalism and modernism, as well as old Swedish crafts tradition. The son of a carpenter in the town of Värnamo in South Sweden, he apprenticed in his father's gallery and soon found a great interest in furniture and especially the function and design of chairs. Eventually he developed a special building technique for wooden chairs where the components were bent and glued under hot water. He also designed houses in Sweden, Portugal and in the United States with frameworks of glass and steel.
