The Röhsska chair is named after Sweden's foremost design museum, which reopened in 2019 after being closed for a couple of years. Prior to the opening, the Röhsska Museum commissioned the carpenter, artist and designer Fredrik Paulsen to interpret the concept of "democratic design" and Fredrik Paulsen together with us at Blå Station developed the Röhsska chair. The exhibition was named "Unmaking Democratic Design".

In his design of the Röhsska Chair, Fredrik questions a certain Swedish furniture giant's attempt to seize the concept of democratic design, because how democratic is it really if the price of the product is the only thing that governs without thinking about what the saved money costs the environment. 

The Röhsska chair combines craftsmanship and industrial production, and the chair is of course produced with Swedish wages, Swedish materials and a Swedish sustainability mindset. With a frame constructed of 150-year-old, Scanian beech and with a seat and back in pine plywood, it is Swedish all the way.
