Swedese’s second chair to make the list is by Swedish designer Monica Förster, who has clearly been very busy, with many new pieces on display at the stands of different furniture and lamp makers this year. The Antelope chair was a favorite. Mirroring the curves of an antelope’s antlers that end in pointy spikes, the solid-ash wood of the back and armrests have a sculpted, organic quality. One piece of solid wood is bent ever so gently into shape to form the single, seamless arch around the back of the chair. This is one that really needs to be touched to be fully appreciated. And it would have felt right at home in Hans Wegner’s dining room. Photo 17 of 37 in Furniture by David M. Dreger from Stockholm Furniture Fair 2010
