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.
