Description: | This chair was originally owned by a married couple, a teacher, who was German and a Scottish business man in the timber trade, who had two teenage children. Their home was part of a an estate built by Span Developments Ltd in about 1960 in Twickenham and to which they moved in the early 1960s. Span were known for their ?good? modern design, and well laid out communal gardens. The chair was part of a set, with a dining table, which the couple had in the dining area of their open-plan living room. Scandinavian design was sought after in Britain after the Second World War, but was not always easy to get hold of. They bought much of their furniture from a shop called Trend on Richmond Hill which specialised in Scandinavian furniture. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Geffrye Museum | Rights holder: | Geffrye Museum | Subjects: | Art and Design Home and Family | Temporal: | c.1960 | Source: | Geffrye Museum | Creator: | Wegner, Hans J. | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
