Originally an architect in Austria, he fled to Sweden in the 1930s, where he joined Svenskt Tenn, introducing a vibrant and expressive design language that contrasted with prevailing minimalism. His furniture, textiles, and lighting prioritised comfort and individuality, creating inviting interiors that remain influential today.
