Otto Wretling Seating

Otto Leonard Wretling, born June 26, 1876, in the city ​​of Umeå, was a Swedish visual artist, designer, painter and furniture manufacturer. Otto Wretling is best known for the Ideal Table, patented in 1936. Together with his brother Wilhelm (1871–1951), Otto Wretling took over his father's painting company in 1897. The business was expanded in 1905 with furniture carpentry. The brother later withdrew, but Otto Wretling continued - first on his own and then with the help of the children - to run the company Otto Wretling for modern room art, which had a studio and workshops in central Umeå. The company was active until 1969. In addition to being a manufacturer, Otto Wretling was the company's first designer. The company designed its furniture but also placed orders.
