To Dr. Bengt Waldemar Akerblom:
April 11, 1901 – August 15, 1990
Bengt Akerblom is one of those designers who was inspired and influenced by human ergonomics. It wasn't his style to bring a plain chair onto the market without a suitable seating function.
He did pioneering work. His study on the consequences of sitting work was published in 1948 in the diploma thesis "Standing and sitting posture" by the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.
Akerblom spent 11 years researching hundreds of test subjects and numerous seat frames until, after many years of research, he found the ideal design. This is reflected in a slight kink in the back area of his designs and models - which made design history as the Akerblom kink. This piece has an attribution mark,
