Dezeen Showroom: driven by the aim to "link" mid-century Swedish furniture design with its future, designer Dan Ihreborn has created the Link easy chair for Stolab.

According to Stolab, the Link easy chair was designed when Ihreborn wrote "a kind of manifesto" decrying the decline of Swedish design since the 1970s and criticising the focus on simple office furniture and flat-pack design.

This ended up in the hands of Stolab owner Martin Johansson, who saw a synergy with Stolab's mission to produce solid wood furniture and invited Ihreborn to collaborate.

Ihreborn's Link is an inviting chair that references the winged armrests of 1950s Scandinavian furniture design.

Stolab describes it as a "fantastic and complicated piece of furniture" containing not a single straight line, and one that "already feels like it is a future classic".

The Link easy chair is made of oak wood in either a natural or white pigmented oil finish, and its upholstery is available in a range of black, brown and tan leathers.
