Bernard Govin Large Modular Asmara Sofa, 1966. Ligne Roset Edition in white
About the Item
Bernard Govin is a French designer and interior architect, born in 1940. During his life, he has created a range of pieces which, fluid in appearance and with audacious, futuristic curves, are still attractive today. He began working with the celebrated manufacturer Ligne Roset from the late 1960’s.
Having studied at the école des arts appliqués Duperré and the institut d'esthétique industrielle, he opened his own agency in 1963. His investigations centre on the new materials. In 1966 he showed an emblematic work at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs (SAD) : his Asmara floor seating, produced by Ligne Roset from 1967. He then presented his Dunes seating, also produced by Ligne Roset, at the SAD 1972. His innovative pieces surprise by their very inventiveness and their great modernity. Bernard Govin was to see other models of his produced as a result of collaborations with a range of manufacturers and he eventually moved to the South of France to work on interior arrangement projects.

Swag Leg Chair 1958 by George Nelson for Herman Miller
By George Nelson
Located in London, GB
The "swag leg chair" by George Nelson dates back to 1958 - but would still be a perfect fit in any science fiction movie today. the innovative design resulted from nelson's demands for the development of his swag leg group, which includes chairs, a secretary and various tables. the elegantly curved legs were to be made of steel and processed by machine. and although the chair naturally looks extremely casual and cool, this has nothing to do with the youthful spirit of the 21st century: "swag" here means the process of "swaging", in english "pressing" (metal pressing is still a widespread method of forming).
The frame is actually a combination of the classic "four-legged friend" with the idea of a central axis. or, to put it more poetically by a contemporary: "like four tree roots growing out of the ground and uniting to form a strong trunk...
