If… OM means IF in Swedish
If we had written a brief to Johan Ansander, or any other designer,
and had this chair been presented as a direct result of our brief,
we wish our brief had sounded like this:
We want a chair, a completely normal chair.
We want a chair, as if it had been designed by one of the great
masters, such as Michael Thonet or Alvar Alto - if they were alive,
active and at their absolute peak right now in the 2020s.
We want a chair that is so well balanced that it inspires calm,
whether it is standing alone or in a group.
We want a chair made of wood, completely made of wood.
We want a chair, comfortable for both the eye and the butt.
If this chair were the result of our brief - then the designer is a master.
Johan Ansander is thus a Master.
