He oversaw his workshop busily producing these chairs in his hometown of Varnamo. Sweden. Yet it was no joke Mathsson indeed changed his focus, and over the next twelve years he introduced few furniture designs but completed about thirty-five buildings in which he introduced several experimental methods of environmental control His architecture, which has much to contribute to the broader story of mid-century modernism, is little-known outside of Scandinavia, and English-language sources are few.
