DescriptionDescription: In 1957, a group of craftsmen and interior designers founded HI Group. They emphasized handicraft qualities in furniture design. Hans Johansson designed the chair, carpenter Anders Berglund and upholsterer Gösta Engström manufactured it. The furniture became too expensive, and HI Group was dissolved in 1972. Johansson’s design is characterized by clever solutions producing an individual character, like the chair’s double front legs.
