Family anecdote:
"The armchair by Björn Trägårdh was always a part of our living room and together with the Uno Åhrén pewter top table first and foremost remembered as a place for having a talk over a coffee. The Myrdal daughters, Sissel and Kaj and later their children often turned the armchair over on its back and played it was as a cradle".
