Muut tiedot

Ralph Lysell and Bell Calmeyer met in the USA in the 1920s, they married in 1926. In 1928 the couple moved to Stockholm to settle down. Ralph went to Nordiska Kompaniet and bought the "Blidö" furniture there, which has been in the family's possession ever since, via his son Rolf and his children. According to family legend, it was made for Ivar Kreuger, but he rejected it because it was too "delicious". After Ralph and Bell separated around 1930, Bell was informed that the furniture was unpaid and an installment agreement for the furniture was made up between Bell and NK. The debt of 1212.35 was to be paid off with SEK 75/month.

Ralph Lysell (1907-1987) Designer and industrial designer. Ralph was formerly called Rolf Åke Nystedt, but began to call himself Ralph over the years in the United States. He later changed to his mother's surname Lysell and eventually also officially changed his first name to Ralph. Ralph is best known as one of the designers behind the now iconic "Ericophone", also called the "Cobra Telephone".
Bell Calmeyer Callin (1899-1986) Midwife. Bell's name was Bergljot, a name she disliked very much and she changed to Bell, probably already during her studies in Scotland.
The son, Rolf Gösta Calmeyer (1927-2022) Artist. Born Nystedt and later called himself Nystedt Lysell to finally take his mother's maiden name Calmeyer.
