Button easy chair is the 2018 addition to Front’s growing family of customisable lounge furniture for Swedese. The new easy chair shares with its forerunner, the Button sofa, an almost impossible task: to fit as well in an aged-care environment as in the first own home of a young design-savvy buyer. The frame is made of laminated oak or ash veneer. Unique wooden buttons dot the upholstery.
A side table can be attached. Functioning equally well on its own as in a group, the shallow seating and bent wooden legs that arch into handles further assist elderly users when sitting down and getting up.
Front
Great design is the effect of choosing the right methodology. The design agency Front is convinced that thorough research, in combination with a creative approach, is the best way to create design expressions that can have both high impact and longevity. Founded in 2004, today the Stockholm-based agency consists of Sofia Lagerkvist (born 1972) and Anna Lindgren (born 1974).
Front reached international fame through their collaboration with Moooi, which resulted in the well-known “Horse lamp”, but they have also worked with, among others, Kartell, Moroso and Ikea. In 2010, they received one of the world’s largest design awards, the Torsten and Wanja Söderberg Prize. The same year, they were also awarded Designer of the Year by Elle Interiör.
Brand description
Many modernist architects were universal designers with not only a clear understanding of designing houses, but also the interior, the furniture and almost the clothes the owners might wear. Swedese's founder, Yngve Ekström, was no exception. Together with names including Alvar Aalto, Bruno Mathsson, Arne Jacobsen and Poul Kjaerholm, Yngve Ekström was at the core of a generation of designers who made the concept "Scandinavian Modern" famous all over the world. With a keen eye, he designed Swedese's furniture, he designed together with L + M Architects also the head office building, logo, catalogues and personalised Christmas cards including their own poems. And so on.
The most well known design of Yngve Ekström's extensive portfolio is the Lamino armchair from 1956, which is still manufactured and sold all over the world. In 1999 the Lamino was voted the Twentieth Century's Best Swedish Furniture Design by the Swedish interior design magazine Sköna Hem.
