Muut tiedot
Model number 958 was launched in the Swedish pavilion at the World Fair in New York on April 30, 1939. The first specimen hung in Commissioner General Folke Bernadotte's office as part of a series of lighting fixtures and furniture designed by Carl-Axel Acking. The work on the artistic design of the entire Swedish pavilion was led by the building council and architect Sven Markelius. The furnishings, fixtures, and textiles from Nordiska Kompaniets textile chamber were also available for the curious who did not have the opportunity to travel by boat to New York, to see in Åtvidabergs Industrier's exhibition area on Hamngatan in Stockholm for a couple of days.
