Johan Lindau | 2OO1 - 2O21
Two long pieces for back legs, another pair for the front, and another
six for cross and seat rails. All of it out of a 4.4 meter long piece of
wood. What more do you need for a sturdy and comfy café seating?
Maybe a few meters of textile saddle girth... Momang takes as its
inspiration two former chairs by Johan Lindau. Gutang, which is still
used in Swedish restaurants, while the first version of Momang thrives
in many cafés. Johan Lindau offers improved comfort and a timeless
graphic expression two decades later, with plaited webbing as a seat.
The ascetic retro is strikingly pronounced with a sturdy and thick
expression seen sidewise, and thin and slender seen from the front.
”The recipe is right on: take a wood plank, cut it up, and then add a
plaited webbing. Serve!”
Johan Lindau
Momang is back
to stay!
