Bruno Mathsson
Bruno Mathsson was born in 1907 in Värnamo, Sweden. His father, Karl, fourth-generation master cabinetmaker, introduced his son very early to the new technologies applied to wood. Mathsson, a self-taught designer and architect, inspired by the functionalist movement, and following the footsteps of his family, spent much of the 1920s and 1930s studying the functional capabilities of wood.
Mathsson's designer furniture is designed for curves and height, and is designed to provide functionality and ergonomics.
He exhibited a collection of curved wood furniture at the 1937 Exposition Universelle in Paris, thus launching his international reputation. His Eva Chair (later called Work Chair) was purchased for public spaces near the opening of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1939, he exhibited at the New York World's Fair, and increased his popularity in the United States. In the 1950s, he turned his attention to architecture, often incorporating large glass pieces into residential projects.
The 1960s allowed him to refocus on furniture and thus get into the work of tubular steel. He collaborates remarkably with Piet Hein, a Danish mathematician, to create the Super Ellipse Table, which rests on slender feet giving the impression that the tray hovers in the air.
