Literature

"När jag ser nylonbeslagen väcker det minnen. När vi skissade på fåtöljen skulle jag försöka få fram massivt nylon för tillverkning av prototyper. Jag hade fått ett tips om ett företag i en källare på söder i Stockholm som skulle kunna ha nylonmaterial. Det måste ha varit 1968. Försäljaren lyckades hitta en lagom und stav, ca 40 cm lång, varav Dux lät tillverka fyra beslag efter vår ritning. De färdiga prototyperna visade sig fungera. Det ursprungliga beslaget var emellertid utformat i två delar och kom under arbetets gång att förenklas till en del."

Ett halvt sekel efter det att Jaan Zimmerman och Bror Boije skapade det som skulle komma att bli fåtöljen Zorba, minns den förstnämnda de praktiska de praktiska bekymmer som kunde möta två formgivare alldeles i början av sina karriärer."

ur: Siesing, Andreas: Svenska 70-talsmöbler: I plast, stål, furu och manchester 1969-1980, Lindelöws förlag, sid 22.
