Muut tiedot
The armchair "Gary" (The Thumb) designed in 1952, was first showcased at the Önskehem exhibition the same year alongside other future Swedish classics such as Greta Magnusson Grossman's floor lamp "G-33". The shape of these unusual armchairs reflects the post-World War II era. Architects and designers were inspired by contemporary sculpture, such as the works of Jean Arp, Henry Moore, or Barbara Hepworth, featuring organic, soft, and sometimes asymmetrical forms.
During this period, Arne Norell was employed as a foreman at the interior design firm Gösta Westerberg in Stockholm.
