Samsas easy chair
Samsas is today regarded as the most typical item of Malmsten furniture. In his work, Carl Malmsten often returned to his earlier designs, which he renewed and simplified. Samsas is such a product, which when it was designed in 1960 had its roots in a model that was almost 40 years old. The original was an easy chair designed for the Stockholm Concert Hall in 1923.
Leó Jóhannsson, long-time senior lecturer in furniture design at Malmstens, has described the armchair: “Samsas has everything required in an easy chair: Expression, comfort, whole big form, fine lines and details – and the feeling of music”.
