Swan chair vs valet chair

Scene 446 in Wild Strawberries II. Bengt visits Olaf's atrium.

Olaf: Take a seat.

Bengt: Wood or plastic?

Olaf: Take your pick.

Bengt: Soft choice. What do you call this one?

Olaf: A swan chair. Arne Jacobsen.

Bengt: Why the funny back on the woody?

Olaf: You can hang your jacket. Valet chair by Hans Wegner.

Bengt: So your jacket rests easy while the sitter gets a numbum.

Olaf: These designers. Some have a sense of laugh.
