Lot no. 169
Gerald Summers, a birch plywood easy chair, Makers of Simple Furniture, England ca 1935-40. One single sheet of plywood shaped into a reclining chair.. . The model was designed 1933-34 and was produced in 1935-40. Originally, the idea was that the model would fit especially well in a tropical climate, since a chair without padding was particularly suited for avoiding insects. The production of the chair, made of a single sheet of molded plywood, became expensive and, according to the prior research, only 120 copies were produced. Alvar Aalto's plywood furniture had already come into production at a lower cost and the competition from Finland became too strong. Gerald Summers, fåtölj, Makers of Simple Furniture, England ca 1935-40. Formpressad plywood i björk, utförd ur ett enda stycke.. . Modellen formgiven 1933-34 och producerades 1935-40. Ursprungligen var tanken att modellen skulle passa speciellt bra i tropikerna då en stol utan stoppning var speciellt praktisk med tanke på insekter. Produktionen av stolen, som utfördes i ett enda stycke formpressad plywood, blev dyrbar och enligt uppgift i känd litteratur tillverkades endast 120 exemplar. Alvar Aaltos böjträmöbler hade redan tidigare kommit ut i produktion till en lägre kostnad och konkurrensen från Finland blev för stark. Estimates in kr : 100 000 - 125 000 kr
