In this book Bruno Mathsson is portrayed by three authors. Dag Widman explores the person Bruno Mathsson, as well as furniture designer. Karin Winter discusses his buildings, searches for his sources of inspiration, compares plan types, identifies the different building materials, and encapsulates his glasshouse architecture in the term “the Mathsson concept.” Nina Stritzler-Levine writes about his exceptional reception in the United States - starting from the moment when Edgar Kaufmann Jr. noticed him at the Paris World’s Fair in 1937, an encounter that led to his furniture being placed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. A beautiful book on the most important furniture designer Sweden has ever produced.

Mogensen (1914-1972) started his career as a cabinetmaker in 1934. In 1936 he went on to study at the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts under Professor Kaare Klint before entering the Royal Academy of Fine Arts from where he graduated as an architect in 1942. Functional is the word which best describes Mogensen’s design. The majority of his furniture was designed with industrial production in mind and is characterized by strong and simple lines. His true genius is to be found in his almost scientific analysis of the functionality of a piece of furniture. A smaller but essential part of his work was the cabinetmade pieces, one of them being “The Huinting Chair” from 1950 made by Erhard Rasmussen. A simple low easy chair with an oak frame from where the strong natural leather seat and back is stretched. Other important pieces include “The Spokeback Sofa” designed in 1945, which with its lightness and simple, open construction differed from most sofas at the time, and “The Spanish Chair” from 1959, a low, robust easy chair.
