About the Item
This Grandessa rocking chair was designed by Lena Larsson for the Swedish Nesto manufacture during the 1960s. The armchair is made of beech wood. It has been finished with black varnish. The high backrest seamlessly transforms into the armrests. The structure is designed to ensure harmonious rocking.
Lena Larsson was born in 1919, died in 2000. She was a Swedish interior designer, a known pioneer of unconventional, environmentally friendly solutions that she created. In her memoirs, she wrote I wanted to revolutionize the furniture industry. She designed a lot of children's furniture that was surprising in form, because she took into account what children really are and not what adults consider them to be. She was a member of the Rabenius family, belonging to the Swedish nobility. She trained as a carpenter at the Carl Malmstens craft school. Then she worked for a carpenter, Elias Svedberg, with whom she designed furniture. In the early 1940s, she was hired by Svenska Slöjdföreningen, now Svensk Forum and Svenska Arkitekters Riksförbund. Together with architects Anders-William Olsson and Mårten Larsson, she created the single-family house Skal och kärna. From 1956 to 1960, she was the editor-in-chief of the interior decoration magazine Allt i hemmet. As an artistic leader in the Nordiska Kompaniet store, she used her knowledge to create interior design solutions that simplify the home lifestyle. NK was a specialty store that sold experimental furniture for the whole family. It has also become a forum for ideas and products to be tested by young designers. In doing so, it paved the way for established and new furniture designers and manufacturers. Despite her merits and talent, her name is not as recognized as her many male counterparts.
The armchair is in original vintage condition with slight signs of use due to the age. The seat is 41 cm high.

Vintage Germany Icon Bauhaus B35 Black Leather Chair by Marcel Breuer for Thonet
By Marcel Breuer, Thonet
Located in Warszawa, Mazowieckie
This design icon from 1928, the B35 armchair, was designed by Marcel Breuer in the late 1920s and made by the German Thonet factory in the early 1930s. This piece is made of tubular steel and black leather with natural patina. The materials used and the traces of wear show that this is an early production of this timeless modell. The armrests are finished with solid wood. Following the success of his Wassily chair, Breuer continued to experiment with tubular steel furniture. Like the Wassily chair, the B35 was not a direct representative of the Bauhaus school, but is clearly in line with the Bauhaus design and construction principles, with a modern, stripped-down form made of industrial materials not used today in furniture production.
Marcel Breuer was born in 1902 in Hungary. He was an architect and designer. He received a scholarship to study painting and sculpture at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts in 1920, but quickly quit and applied to the Bauhaus school in Weimar, Germany. After completing the preliminary courses there, he studied at the Bauhaus furniture...
