Jonas Bohlin
(Sweden, Born 1953)

a rare "Iron Concrete" armchair, Källemo, Värnamo 1987.

Iron, signed j. BoHLiN. Height 89 cm.

Minor wear.

Provenance

Designer's Private Collection.
Stockholms Auktionsverk, "Hommage à Jonas Bohlin", February 10, 2003, cat. no. 15.

Literature

Dan Gordan, "Svenska stolar och deras formgivare", Norstedts 2014, mentioned p. 274.

More information

The model "Concrete," designed in 1981. This rare all-iron variant was produced in 1987 in an edition of 15+2 HC copies.

The present chair was Jonas Bohlin's own out of his private collection, which was later exhibited and subsequently auctioned off at the sale Hommage à Jonas Bohlin in Stockholm in 2003, prompted by Bohlin closing his architectural office at Slussen in Stockholm and therefore selling all prototypes and personal editions.

Designer

Jonas Bohlin is a Swedish interior architect and designer born in Stockholm. He studied at Konstfack in Stockholm where he also worked as a professor. Bohlin's graduation project garnered great attention: the "Concrete" armchair, crafted from steel and concrete. In the 1980s the chair sparked a debate as to what constitutes as art? Bohlin's designs balance emotion and reason, challenging conventional assumptions.
