For Torben Skov the pure geometry and the primary colors of the Bauhaus school form the basis for the design of his furniture. “Still-Leben” has been created by combining a simple seating element with a harmonious supporting frame. The idea of the double function came while it was being designed: By reversing the curved underframe, the recliner becomes a rocking chair. Illustrated with striking color photographs and drawings.
