Their construction from solid birch and birch plywood features a warm, honey-colored finish with a fine grain. The clean, minimalist design with straight lines and a gently curved backrest profile lends the chairs an understated elegance.

the seat is ergonomically shaped and subtly rounded, providing comfort even during extended periods of sitting. A particularly striking structural detail is the cross-braced joint on the front legs, which ensures not only stability but also a harmonious appearance. The chairs can be stacked to save space – a thoughtful feature that underscores their original use in public spaces. This model was designed by the renowned architect and designer sven markelius in the 1940s specifically for the concert hall in helsingborg, sweden. Their clear design language and robust construction continue to make them sought-after design classics.
