Originally presented at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, it became one of the most celebrated Scandinavian contributions to the exhibition, praised for its technical refinement and modern expression. Its success marked an important moment for Nordic design on the international stage, positioning Swedish craftsmanship in dialogue with the emerging language of Art Deco.
Previously owned by Modernity and after being exhibited internationally by Modernity in Paris, New York and London — where the set received exceptional attention and was awarded Best Object at PAD Paris in 2014 — the ensemble was acquired by the Swedish National Museum.
The cabinet by Hörvik and chair, designed by Gunnar Asplund, belong to the National Museum in Stockholm.

The chair is constructed from bent and laminated birch plywood, with softly curved legs and armrests, combined with a seat and back made from woven leather straps. The leather version, as shown here, was introduced in the 1960s; earlier Eva chairs were produced with textile webbing.
The construction reflects Mathsson’s long-standing interest in ergonomics and seated posture. The flexible leather adapts to the body, while the structure provides strength despite the chair’s visually light appearance. The form is typical of Swedish functionalist furniture, where material efficiency, comfort, and clarity of construction are prioritised over ornament.
Bruno Mathsson was one of the most influential Swedish designers of the 20th century and a key figure in the development of bent and laminated plywood furniture. He trained as a cabinetmaker in his father Karl Mathsson’s workshop, which later became Mathsson International. Many of his designs were given female names, including Eva, Pernilla, and Annika.

The Flag Halyard Chair, model GE 225, designed by Hans J. Wegner in Denmark in 1950, is a lounge chair constructed from steel, rope, and textile.
Inspired by a summer vacation at Wegners seaside cottage, The Flag Halyard Chair is significant for its deliberate break from the traditions that defined much of Danish modern furniture in the mid-20th century. Designed in 1950, the chair represents a rare moment in Wegner’s work where industrial materials replace wood as the primary means of construction. First presented at the Arts & Crafts Spring Exhibition at Designmuseum Danmark in 1950, the Flag Halyard Chair stood apart from his cabinetmaking-based designs, yet it retained the same emphasis on proportion, structural clarity, and craftsmanship.
Hans J. Wegner is best known for his extensive body of chair designs, having created more than five hundred models over the course of his career. Working with leading Danish manufacturers such as Johannes Hansen, Carl Hansen & Søn and Getama, Wegner played a key role in shaping the international recognition of Scandinavian design during the mid-century period and he is regarded as one of the most influential figures in modern furniture.

The Valet Chair was designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1953. It is made from teak, oak, and brass. The chair’s design originated from a discussion Wegner had with architect Steen Eiler Rasmussen and designer Kay Bojesen about the practical challenge of managing clothes in the evening. Wegner’s solution was a chair that functions as a clothes organiser. The backrest serves as a coat hanger, supported by vertical posts for hanging jackets. When the seat is lifted, it creates a support for trousers and reveals a small tray for storing pocket items such as keys and coins.
While the chair’s primary function is not seating comfort, it excels as a sculptural and utilitarian object. Its combination of practicality and Nordic craftsmanship showcases Wegner's dedication to both form and function. The Valet Chair remains a timeless design that beautifully balances artistry and utility.
On display at our London gallery.

Tynell’s Snowflake chandeliers are evocative of the decorative ornaments that were customary to hang at home during colder, darker Finnish winters. Twinkling warm light would imitate sparkling snowfall, creating a sense of winter magic.
This example is exceptional due to the remarkable number of snowflakes. With 64 at 12 cm in diameter, this was a custom order of the standard 9041 model with 40 flakes.

Hjorth’s designs - whether from the luxuriousness of neo-classicism to the severity of functionalism - are sharply distinct in style, materials, and character. Unlike many of his contemporaries however, he did not conform to the socially oriented ideas produced by Svensk Form. He often incorporated playful ornamentation from different historical periods from which he was inspired, such as French Art Deco, using mixed exotic woods, bright colours, and textiles.

Sofa ‘Utö’ designed by Axel Einar Hjorth for Nordiska Kompaniet, Sweden, 1930s.

Kaare Klint, the father of Modern Danish Design, designed this unique three-seater sofa in 1916. The sofa is among his very early designs and should thus be seen as a prime example of the first steps in the movement that would later evolve into the ‘golden age of Danish design’. The aesthetic of the sofa is characterised by clean, pure lines and the use of the best materials of the time — attributes that would later define the work of Kaare Klint as a whole.

Three-seater sofa designed by Kaare Klint, manufactured by cabinetmaker N.M. Rasmussen. Holbæk. H, Denmark, 1916.
