Mats Theselius
(Sweden, Born 1956)

an "Hommage à Sigurd Lewerentz" armchair, ed. 3/123, Källemo, Värnamo, post 2012.

Patinated copper, ebony and steel frame, woven textile, manufacturer's mark HOMMAGE A SIGURD LEWERENTZ MATS THESELIUS NO 3/123 KÄLLEMO SWEDEN 2012. Height 74 cm, seat height 40 cm.

More information

Designed in 2012 as a tribute to the architect Sigurd Lewerentz. The copper plate that covers the seat is sourced from Petri Church in Klippan, designed by Lewerentz and built between 1962 and 1966.

The church was one of Lewerentz's last and most cherished projects. Theselius created the chair inspired by the church's various materials and patterns. The textile that adorns the seat is inspired by the pattern of the church's floor. The armrests in ebony are an interpretation of the church's windows. The entire construction is divided into different components, resembling a somewhat unfinished whole, something Theselius regarded as an important aspect of the church's design. The copper plate was sufficient for 123 chairs + 6 in the EA edition.

Designer

Mats Theselius is a Swedish furniture designer, artist, and interior architect, born in 1954 in Stockholm. Theselius studied interior architecture at Konstfack from 1979 to 1984 and shortly after graduating, he made his breakthrough with the groundbreaking chair "Älgskinnsfåtöljen," a cylindrical armchair made of sheet iron and moose leather. This chair marked the beginning of a long and uninterrupted career, largely in collaboration with the legendary furniture producer Sven Lundh (who also launched Jonas Bohlin's concrete chair, Concrete) at Källemo in Värnamo. Following this, several renowned pieces were created, including the showcase cabinet National Geographic, distinguished by its characteristic yellow color and named after the magazine of the same title, as well as the chairs Rex, Ingo, and Bruno.
In addition to his prolific career in design, Mats Theselius served as a professor at the University of Gothenburg's School of Design and Crafts in the 1990s. In 1997, he was honored with both the Bruno Mathsson Prize and the Torsten and Wanja Söderberg Prize. Mats Theselius was elected to the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in 2011.
