Design for body and soul, by a true master craftsman
Professor Bruno Mathsson, 1907–1988, was a modernist in the truest sense of the word. He was just as influential as the other famous modernists of the 1930s (Alvar Aalto and Marcel Breuer, for example), but because he always drew inspiration from the forms of the human body, his “ design ” will never go out of style. He is eternally modern.
Sitting became a focus for Bruno Mathsson, both in a relaxed position in his armchairs Pernilla, Jetson and Karin, but also in workplaces and in front of computers. Back in 1935, he expressed his design philosophy like this: "The ultimate sitting is an art, which it should not be. Instead, the manufacture of seating should be done with such art that sitting in them becomes no art".
When Mathsson was commissioned by Support Design to design a task chair in the 1970s, he focused on creating a chair where you wouldn’t have to worry about whether you were sitting correctly or not—he believed the focus should be on the work, not on your posture. That’s the philosophy we still follow when we produce our Support chair, and we know it will remain modern for many years to come.
