Description: | This storage seat, which is one of a pair, was owned by a London couple in the second half of the 20th Century. The husband was a cab driver and the wife was a fashion buyer for Harrod?s department store, in Knightsbridge. In 1956 they kitted out the living room of their brand new council flat in Whitechapel from Heal?s on Tottenham Court Road. This chair was made in Denmark, as was the rest of the couple?s new furniture. After the Second World War, Scandinavian furniture design became very sought after in Britain because of its high-quality but simple, clean design. | 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.1955 | Source: | Geffrye Museum | Creator: | Finmar Ltd | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
