NOTES
Swedish designer Bruno Mathsson was a fifth-generation furniture maker. His love of modern design and his Scandinavian admiration for wood joined in his simplified model for a chair using bentwood and hemp webbing. Mathsson’s furniture was attractive and comfortable without ornament or conventions of style.
