In 1942, Carl Malmsten designed the elegant armchair Widemar on behalf of the lawyer and politician Ingrid Gärde Widemar, who in 1968 became a justice and thus the first female judge in the Swedish Supreme Court. The armchair was manufactured in a few copies, but never went into serial production. Since 2018, Widemar has been manufactured by Stolab. It is a piece of finely honed cultural heritage for our time. Widemar is made from solid birch that is surface treated with white oil. The seat cushion is made from tanned leather in cognac colour from Tärnsjö.
