More information
This model was designed for the entrance at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm for its temporary location at "Spårvägshallarna" (the Tram Halls) between 1994-97. The first four benches were produced for this location and this actual bench is one of these four. They were made by Källemo. Another set of four benches were made by another producer.
Rolf Hansson later used the benches at the exhibition 'Rolf Hanson Malerei/Painting' in Düsseldorf in 1998.
There were four more benches produced for the exhibition at Artipelag 'Retroactive', Stockholm in 2021. Upholstered in black, dark green and dark brown leather for this occasion.
