More information

Modellen möjligen en prototyp ritad av Gunnar Asplund till Stockholmsutställningen 1930. Den här modellen är snarlik den stol som Asplund ritade till Svenska Slöjdföreningens Styrelserum år 1931, är något vidare och generösare i proportionerna samt skiljer sig i detaljer vid armlänen.
Stolen är en modern tolkning av klismosstolen i stålrör, materialet som var på modet endast en kort tid, i stort sett mellan ca 1927-1930.

Även på Stadsbiblioteket (1920-28) använde sig Asplund av en klismostyp av stol, bl.a i stadsbibliotekariens rum.
