Provenance

Restaurant Lindgården, situated at Djurgården in Stockholm. The garden furniture were designed by Carl Hörvik. They are quite similar to what Hörvik designed for the gardens at the refined hotel "Stadshotellet Båstad" a few years earlier.
Restaurant Lindgården was a work by architect Arne Essén, it opened in 1929 and was demolished in 2011.

Designer

Carl Hörvik was an architect and inventative furniture designer. Hörvik was a classmate of Gunnar Asplund at the Royal Institute of Technology. He was considered one of the greatest architectural talents of his generation and a person from whom Asplund is said to have been greatly influenced. Hörvik opened his own office in 1914. He worked on the interior of the Röhsska Museum in 1916, and participated in the Workshop's exhibition at Liljevalchs in 1920 with an unusually progressive furniture set in polished birch. At the Gothenburg Exhibition in 1923, he was exhibiting a spacious hall interior in grey with large armchairs and delicate stools. The furniture from Nordiska Kompaniet, with which he participated in the Paris World Fair in 1925, had a monumental character of luxury and earned him the Grand Prix. Hörvik designed furniture for Hantverkslotterierna (the Craft Lotteries) in Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö for several years. He also designed the Swedish Student House in Paris in 1931 and the county residence in Umeå in 1932.
