Year 1973 Function Easy chair Design Gillis Lundgren Price EUR 22.50 TAJT was youthful soft furniture that fit perfectly into the laid-back zeitgeist of the time. It was a combined sit, rest and lounge piece comprised of two 90×90 cm cushions which were 18 cm thick. The cushions were buttoned together by leather buttons in leather straps. If you put them on top of each other you had a sitting height of 36 cm. They could also be laid side by side to form a simple mattress. TAJT also came with a rolled cushion with a chrome-plated tubular stand, which could be locked to keep the cushion in place. This innovative furniture was designed by Gillis Lundgren. TAJT was given pride of place on the 1973 catalogue cover, and was presented enthusiastically: “An invitation to the lovely, soft world where people and furniture spend time together in an easy-going, unconventional, status-free environment. Great, brand new furniture for 225 well-spent kronor (EUR 22.50). … TAJT is a fun, exciting piece of soft furniture. An easy chair, a bed, a kind of tête-à-tête sofa. … De-stress on TAJT, listen to music on TAJT, watch TV on TAJT!” Often found in Jeans fabric The text makes it sound as if the world had just been waiting for denim furniture...
