Norell had traveled and studied different traditions, incorporating international influences, including certain constructive solutions inspired by campaign furniture, which he reinterpreted under a Nordic sensibility. Unlike other more industrialized pieces of the time, the Ilona series always maintained a strong connection with handcrafted production.
Furniture designer and manufacturer, the Swede Arne Norell opened his own workshop in Stockholm in 1954, and four years later moved to the Swedish province of Småland, where he created the company Möbel AB Arne Norell. He was a versatile creator, who successfully exploited the various combinations of materials offered by tradition and industrial innovations. He used turned wood, bentwood, leather, fabric and metal in various forms to build his furniture, which was always characterized by a combination of comfort and lightness. Many of his designs came on the market after his death, manufactured by the company he founded, today under the name Norell Möbel AB.
