Zorro

Zorro, 2006. Unique custom made armchair produced by Mats Theselius.
The exterior of the armchair is embossed by hand and executed by saddle maker John H Simon of Arkansas. The cowboy craftmanship is rich in possibilities and techniques so there is room for a great variety of expression. The masked Zorro, completely dressed in black was a good name for this armchair which is black in all its simplicity.

Beside my collaborations with different design companies as a designer, I started my own production of unique custom made armchairs in 1999. My first model was made for the White house, the second one to Kremlin. In the last twenty years I have made over 30 different models. All of them use the same wooden frame, armrests and legs. The variations are expressed by the execution of the outside, and the material processing. They are manufactured in a network of different craftsmen in the south of Sweden where I live.
