More information

Åke Axelsson and KG Nilsson worked at Konstfack(The University for Art, Craft and Design, Stockholm) together during the 1970s and 1980s. Together they created experimental chairs and unique furniture/sculptures where Åke Axelsson was responsible for the design and construction and KG Nilsson for the painted or printed details or decor. At the time, both worked in a minimalist spirit with strictly geometric attributes. Axelsson was also characterized by a willingness to report all the details of the construction and worked in a pronounced constructivist spirit as well. Some chairs became unique with hand-painted decor, some became limited editions with printed decor. The chair in this auction is available in two copies, one of which Axelsson still owns and the other probably came via KG Nilsson to the current owner.
