Provenance

Göteborgs Rådhus. Gunnar Asplund fick uppdraget att bygga till Göteborgs rådhus, en tillbyggnad till det äldre rådhuset. Den djärva moderna utformningen fick många göteborgare att tala om skandal när den stod färdig 1937. Det gjordes sju ordförandestolar till varje domstol och det fanns fyra domstolar vilket gör totalt 28 stolar. På 1960-talet slut eller tidigt 70-tal renoverades rådhuset och stolarna byttes ut. Idag är tolv stolar återköpta till rådhuset och för flertalet resterande stolar är ödet okänt.
