Design House Stockholm's Family Chairs

Not every chair is created equal. Especially not family chairs by Lina Nordqvist, a foursome of traditional swedish stickback chairs. Separately they present themselves as individuals, unique chairs aspiring to be something more than just pieces of furniture. Together they form a boisterous family, with each one displaying a distinctive character. Even the horizontal spindles between the chair legs play their part in the game.

“I’m fascinated by objects, and I like it when they have their own special individuality, something beyond mere technical function. That’s why i decided on a graduation project at Beckmans College of Design in which I transformed something well-known and traditional into something unexpected.”

It’s no surprise that Lina Nordqvist’s family chairs seem to be made for the stage: she has already pursued a career as a professional set designer in the Swedish film industry for several years. Family chairs will be available in natural wood and in a black-lacquered version.
