This set of furniture designed by Carl Westman was probably ordered directly by the son of the entrepreneur Erik Lundberg for the interior of his office in the newly erected villa from 1912 on the island of Lilla Ekholmen near Vaxholm in the Stockholm archipelago.

Drawings for several of the pieces of furniture included in this suite are in the collections of the National Museum.in Stockholm.

Carl Westman was a Swedish architect and interior designer. Westman started his own architectural practice in 1897 and during the first years he designed private villas and furniture inspired by the design language of the Arts and Crafts movement. Westman's largest and most famous work is Stockholm's Town Hall (1911–15). He also designed the Röhsska museum building in Gothenburg (1910–1914). Westman was an early adopter of the National Romantic Style, but turned later to the neo-classical style of the 1920s.
