Lamino Easy Chair

Overview

Lamino is Swedese's most well-known easy chair, signed Yngve Ekström and dated 1956 on the product page. Swedese describes it as made of molded and layer-glued veneer, a life's work and the result of a constant search for simplicity and the perfect sitting curve. The page says Ekström designed the armchair with humans as the starting point, which makes it as pleasant to sit in as it is to look at.
