Muut tiedot

The present armchairs originally stood in the premises of the Swedish Theatre Union in Stockholm and are likely to have been designed either for a theatre production or for the interior of the union's premises. According to unconfirmed information from the union, the theatre decorator Einar Hjort, who was engaged with the union, may be the creator of the armchairs. Hjort studied decorative painting at the Stora Teatern in Gothenburg from 1914 to 1917, after which he was employed as a decorative painter at Helsingborg City Theatre, where he was active from 1921 to 1935.
