Göran Malmvall was the youngest son of Karl Andersson, founder of the renowned Scandinavian furniture manufacturer, Karl Andersson &#; Sons. He studied under Carl Malmsten for a short time, but was largely self-taught. Malmvall was known for the subtlety of his designs and the boldness of his innovations. This armchair from his highly collectible Svensk Fur (&#;Swedish Pine&#;) series has a Minimalist rusticity akin to Axel Einar Hjorth&#;s contemporaneous Sportstugemöbler furniture. Both designers were inspired by traditional Swedish carpentry, transforming the utilitarian provincial furniture into more refined profiles that appealed to a higher end customer.
We have added a custom seat cushion in Belgian linen with leather welt.
