Yngve Ekstrm
Vintage Yngve Ekstrm furniture embodies the beauty and simplicity of the Scandinavian modern style. The Swedish designer, architect and woodworker created clean-lined hardwood pieces with sophisticated details and flourishes. He was known for his comfortable lounge chair designs as well as chic cocktail tables and handsome highboard cabinets.
Ekstrm was born in 1913 in Smland, home to Swedens oldest furniture factory, Hagafors Stolfabrik. After his father died, he began working at the factory. In 1945, Ekstrm and his older brother, Jerker Ekstrm, opened ESE Mbler, a furniture company headquartered in their hometown. In 1952, they received acclaim for their innovative Thema chair. The laminated veneer chair was packed flat for easy shipping so customers could assemble it at home. Ekstrm followed it with the 1955 Arka chair for the furniture manufacturer Stolab. A spindle backrest and spacious curved seat gave the chair comfort and style.
Ekstrms most popular design was the 1956 Lamino chair. Still in production, the minimalist wooden-frame chair features a sinuous and inviting profile with a high backrest. Looking back at his well-loved design, Ekstrm said: To have designed one good chair might not be a bad lifes work.
After Ekstrms brother left the company, he changed the name to Swedese. Ekstrm sold Swedese in 1974, but continued to design for it until he died in 1988. His furniture is in museum collections around the world, including the National Museum in Stockholm, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Victoria Albert museum in London. In 1999, Swedish design magazine Skna Hems named the Lamino chair the 20th-Centurys Best Swedish Furniture Design.
Swedese, which still occupies its original building in Smland, partnered with artist Kustaa Saksi in 2017 to update the iconic Lamino chair.
