DescriptionDescription: In 1957, some Swedish craftsmen and interior designers formed the HI Group. The members wanted to give consumers alternatives to the plastic age’s “buy-wear-and-throw” products by developing well-designed high-quality furniture. The chair belongs to the group’s most innovative experiment. It is made of 4 mm thin airplane plywood, shaped in a mould and screwed together. It was shown at the HI Group’s last show in 1966.
