This is one of my favorite Swedish designers. She is a slightly younger generation than the Danish women like Nanna Ditzel, Grete Jalk and Tove Kindt-Larsen. Her design language is less strict, more free form.
I love her stuff. It is quirky and playful. A break from the earlier Scandinavian stuff. She made a series of furniture called Paradise. There is an Adam chair and an Eve chair. In fact big Adam and little Adam, big Eve and little Eve. The pics are of Big Eve. Look at those crazy legs!

Anthropologie apes KH-H ??
Looks like Anthropologie has made a knock-off of Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist "Big Eve" chair. Apparently Anthropologie's copy was on "The Big Bang Theory"
KH-H's idiosyncratic designs from the 60's(?) have largely sailed under the radar for a long time but seem to be acquiring cult status in Scandinavia recently. Prices are heading north big time.
But be warned. These chairs without exception need to be reupholstered. The foam feels like toast on every one I have handled.

Lovely
This chair. I must have missed it the first time around.

I like most of the Hörlin-Holmquist designs, but
... the "Garden of Eden" sofa is particularly striking.
Of course there has to be some cheap knock-off in production now.
