More information
The chair 'Röhsska' is designed by the designer and artist Fredrik Paulsen in 2019 for Blå Station. The Röhsska Museum commissioned Fredrik Paulsen to interpret the notion of Democratic Design. He chose to design a chair for the purpose. The chair was shown in the exhibition 'Unmaking Democratic design: Fredrik Paulsen' where the furniture was used to dismantle, disassemble and question the concept of democratic design. The final product, Röhsska Chair, is a Swedish-made flatpack furniture with a frame construction of 150 years old, birch from Skåne and with back and seat in pine plywood.
The two chairs in the auction are both the very first prototypes that was exhibited at the Salone del Mobile, Milan 2019.
