Erik Gunnar Asplund Göteborg 1 Chair For Cassina
By Erik Gunnar Asplund
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Erik Gunnar Asplund Göteborg 1 Chair For Cassina
The Göteborg solid wood design chair is the conceptual representation of Rationalism by the Swedish architect who designed the furnishings for the Gothenburg Town Hall.
The rounded slightly convex curves are reminiscent of the stylistic features of the Bauhaus school. This chair also echoes a tribute to the legendary Thonet chair No. 14, among the early examples of design furniture on an industrial scale.
PADDING
Cold processed polyurethane foam.
LEGS
Solid ash.
UPHOLSTERY
Fabric or leather.
The Göteborg chair is Erik Gunnar Asplund’s poetic interpretation of Rationalist ideas. The chair was commissioned for the extension of the Town Hall in Göteborg, Sweden, whose warm, wood-panelled rooms are evoked in its ashwood frame. The curved and slightly convex profile recalls Bauhaus designs. In this case, though, Asplund keeps the back and legs the same width. We also see an homage to the historic Thonet No. 14 chair, one of the early examples of industrially manufactured furniture.
