At the time, it was almost intended as a light PR-focused experiment. but at this year's Scandinavian Furniture fair in Copenhagen, it turned out that it had a clear sales appeal. The original rocking chair is called 'Gojan'. Abra möbler's own words about 'Gojan'. Arberg came to Sweden from Denmark together with his partner Anne in 1967. They founded Arberg and Arberg together in 1973 and designed furniture for, among others, Abra möbler.
