Kerstin Holmquist

The beautifully crafted basket shell lies elegantly on the black lacquered metal frame, held in place only by two leather straps at the back side. The seating comfort is fantastic. Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist was a Swedish architect and designer. She is known for her ability to create designs for the modern home of the 1950s without being concerned about passing trends. It was important to her to remain true to her own unique humanistic version of design. She created her timeless and iconic Paradies collection in 1956 while working for Nordiska Kompaniet. She favored brightness, clear lines and grace with a pinch of romance.
