Note: Åke Axelsson has a long experience in furniture making. He was born in 1932 on a small farm in Småland, the lake and forest district in the south of Sweden, one of eight children. At an early age it was clear that he had a talent for craft and was sent to summer classes in cabinet making. In 1951 he graduated from the Visby School of Woodwork, and went off as a journeyman to work in Munich.

Back in Sweden he studied furniture and interior design at the University College of Arts and Crafts and Design (Konstfack) and soon set up his own office. Interior design has been Axelsson's primary profession, but it is the designing of chairs that has been his great passion. (akeaxelsson.com)
