Alice

Formerly Saga

Alice begins with one of the most enduring furniture types in history: the café chair.

That choice was deliberate. A good café chair must function in many environments, for many people, and do so without demanding attention.

Lervik built on that logic.

Alice is stackable, and the backrest is designed so the chair can be hung from a table or desk during cleaning.

These are modest details, but they are precisely where useful design often reveals itself.

Alice does not attempt to reinvent sitting. Instead, it refines a typology that has already proved its value over generations.

Alice is a chair design by the Swedish designer Alexander Lervik, dated 2021. The work is produced by Johanson Design, which manufactures and distributes it, while the design originates in Lervik’s studio. In the portfolio it is listed under chairs.

Alexander Lervik is a Swedish designer whose work spans furniture, lighting, product design and collectible design. His practice combines function, storytelling, technology and conceptual experimentation, moving between industrial production, limited-edition objects and design art. He trained at Beckmans College of Design in Stockholm and runs his studio in Österlen in the south of Sweden.

The project belongs to a body of work that is represented in museum collections including Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Nasjonalmuseet in Oslo and the Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg, and that has been covered by international design and news media. Related works can be found through the furniture, lighting and collectible design pages and in the complete portfolio.
