About the Item

A set of 2 Skrindan chairs with new emerald green velvet cushions. For the armchair Skrindan (eng. The wagon) from 1963, Hörlin Holmquist took inspiration from the iconic Gripsholms armchair, created during the 18th century. Skridan was produced by OPE Möbler in walnut, mahogany, or beech wood, which could be lacquered in red, black or green. Kerstin Hörlin Holmquist studied in England in the 1940s and later at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm. She started her design career in 1952 when architect Elias Svedberg discovered her talents. Svedberg had just, in collaboration with the architect Lena Larsson, become responsible for a new interior design concept at the classic department store NK. The concept named NK-Triva, was aimed to attract a growing group of younger consumers with modern design and new and more free interior design ideas. Hörlin Holmquist joined the project and continued working for NK during many years. Kerstin Hörlin Holmquist was contracted as a designer for the Swedish brand NK Triva from 1952 but she also collaborated with Coop - the Swedish cooperative Wholesale Union, Ope Möbler and AC Collection. Skrindan is together with Stora Kraal and Paradiset her most well-known furniture designs.
