Swedish studio Claesson Koivisto Rune and Czech furniture company TON have reinterpreted a 1930s chair designed by Austrian architect Josef Hoffmann to create the A822 chair, which has been shortlisted for a Dezeen Award. The Swedish studio decided to update Hoffmann's original A811 chair, which they had used for previous projects, to give it a contemporary and Nordic character.
