Karl-Erik Ekselius - Oak lounge chair by JOC Sweden

About the Item

Oak lounge chair, and Ekselius´ version of the popular TV-chair from the 60´s. New cushions with a smooth brown quality upholstery. At the moment we have 3 identical chairs. Karl Erik Ekselius was a Swedish furniture designer born in 1914 in Ålesund, Sweden. He studied carpentry in Germany and at Carl Malmsten’s school for Furniture Studies in Stockholm sometime during the 1930s. Subsequently, he worked for J. O. Carlsson (known later as JOC Möbel AB) in Vetlanda, eventually taking ownership of the company in 1961. During the famous H55 Exhibition in 1955 in Helsingborg, Sweden, Ekselius gained international recognition with his designs. Like many of his Swedish contemporaries during the 1950s and ‘60s, Ekselius originated Scandinavian modern furniture, including dining chairs, dining tables and coffee tables, in richly grained woods like rosewood and teak. He also developed armchairs and office chairs in chromed metal and supple leather. For J. O. Carlsson, he designed the Mondo Chair (1960s) and the F60 Easy Chair (1960s). He also designed furniture for the Dag Hammarskjöld Library in New York which brought him international fame.
