A new classic from 1954
The City chair won Norsk Industri's classic award, 10th December 2020.
In 1954, 26-year-old Øyvind Iversen presented his diploma thesis, a thesis that would revolutionize the future of Fora Form (formerly Møre Lenestol-fabrikk) and the Nordic furniture industry.
Inspired by a curvaceous woman, and with the help of a completely new lamination technology, he created the City chair. For over 60 years, the chair has thrilled with its timeless design and outstanding seating comfort.
