DescriptionDescription: The armchair was launched in 1966 at the exhibition Lek och Lär (Play and Learn). It was part of an educational project where schoolchildren got to work with rooms and furniture. The parts consisted of wooden boards with holes and protruding pins fastened with rubber bands, as well as cushions with different coverings. The furniture was also launched for private use, including in a size adapted for smaller children, distributed by KF/Kooperativa Förbundet (The Co-operative Organisation). The textile is designed by Birgitta Hahn (b. 1938).
