Eric Elfvén
Swedish
Eric Elfvén (1910-1997) was a Swedish furniture designer known for his modernist approach to furniture design. He studied at the Konstfack School of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm and later worked as a designer for several leading furniture manufacturers in Sweden.
Elfvén's furniture designs were characterized by their clean lines, functional design, and use of high-quality materials. He worked primarily in wood, creating pieces that were both elegant and practical. His designs were often inspired by traditional Swedish furniture, but he gave them a modern twist by simplifying their forms and using contemporary materials and techniques.
One of Elfvén's most famous designs is the "Haga" chair, which he designed for the Swedish furniture company O.H. Sjögren in the 1950s. The chair is a classic example of Scandinavian modern design, with its simple, organic form and use of high-quality materials.
Elfvén's furniture designs were highly influential in Sweden and beyond, and he played a key role in shaping the modernist aesthetic that became popular in the mid-20th century. Today, his work is considered a classic example of Swedish modern design, and his pieces continue to be admired and collected by design enthusiasts around the world.
