"Little Adam" Chairs by Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist, Sweden 1958

About the Item

The “Little Adam” chair model is from the Paradise Collection from the Triva Series, which was created in 1958 by Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist during her time as a designer at Nordiska Kompaniet. The name is inspired by “Paradiset” – the Swedish name for Eden. This pair of Mid-Century lounge chairs are small in scale to fit a narrow space or the foot of a bed. The curved back has a small tufted detail. The fabric is a linen blend with a very light grayish hue. Can be reupholstered upon request. The light Maple legs add a contrast and a casualness about the chair.
