Karl Mathsson
Swedish
Karl Mathsson (1835-1918) was a Swedish furniture maker and designer who founded the Mathsson family's furniture manufacturing company. He was born in Värnamo, Sweden, and learned the craft of furniture making from his father.
In the late 19th century, Karl Mathsson began experimenting with new techniques and designs that would become the foundation of the family's furniture company. He developed a method of bending wood to create strong, lightweight frames for chairs, and he also incorporated traditional Swedish craft techniques into his designs.
One of Karl Mathsson's most famous designs is the Eva chair, which he created in 1907. The chair features a curved, laminated wood frame with a woven cane seat and backrest. The design was praised for its simplicity, comfort, and durability and became a staple of Swedish furniture design.
Karl Mathsson's furniture was known for its high quality and innovative design, and the family's furniture company continued to thrive under the leadership of his son, Bruno Mathsson, and his grandson, Thomas Eriksson Mathsson. Today, Mathsson furniture is highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts, and many of Karl Mathsson's designs are considered iconic examples of Swedish furniture design.
