DescriptionDescription: In 1985, one year after graduating from Konstfack in Stockholm, Mats Theselius got much attention for a cylindrical armchair covered in moose leather with sides of sheet metal. A few years later, Aluminium chair was launched with a seat and back of braided birch-bark and sides of brushed aluminium. The chair is characteristic of the period, an example of furniture where sculptural qualities were prioritized in preference to function.
