Swedish furniture designer Karl-Erik Ekselius was born in 1914 in Ålesund, Sweden.
He studied carpentry in Germany and sometime in the 1930s at Carl Malmsten's school of furniture studies in Stockholm. He then worked for J.O. Carlsson
(later known as JOC Möbel AB) in Vetlanda,
where he eventually became the owner of the company in 1961.
At the famous 1955 H55 exhibition in Helsingborg, Sweden, Ekselius gained international recognition for his designs.
Like many of his Swedish contemporaries in the 1950s and 1960s, Ekselius designed Scandinavian modern furniture, including dining room chairs, dining tables and coffee tables, in richly grained woods such as rosewood and teak.
He also developed armchairs and office chairs in chromed metal and supple leather. For J.O. Carlsson, he designed the Mondo Chair (1960) and the F60 Easy Chair (1960). He also designed furniture for the Dag Hammarskjöld Library in New York. Ekselius died in 1998. (source Pamono)
