Also known as
Yngve Ekström
Yngve Ekström (1913–1988) was a Swedish designer and architect whose name is closely linked to twentieth-century furniture design. Library authority records standardize his name as “Ekström, Yngve, 1913-1988,” helping distinguish the accented form from the page spelling “Yngve Ekstrom.” The collected biographical source also identifies him as a furniture designer, wood carver and sculptor. His best-known documented design in this source pack is the Lamino armchair, created in 1956 and described as remaining in production. That source associates his work with the development of Scandinavian Modernism, although the current pack lacks a museum, estate or scholarly source independently confirming that movement label. Collectors are therefore most likely to encounter Ekström through attributed furniture and seating, while claims about a specific model, production period or maker should be checked against object-level documentation. His design, woodworking and architectural practice provides the clearest context for identifying works associated with his name.

Common works and media
Furniture is the strongest supported auction-facing category for Yngve Ekström, with seating and armchairs particularly relevant because the collected biography identifies the 1956 Lamino armchair as his best-known design. The sources also describe work in wood carving and sculpture, but the pack does not show how frequently such objects appear at auction. Model names, maker labels, materials and production periods should therefore be recorded from the object rather than inferred from its general appearance.
Market and appraisal context
The supplied Appraisily signal associates this artist page with 189 auction records, but the collected public-page fetch was rate-limited and did not provide individual lot details. Appraisal should therefore begin with secure attribution to Yngve Ekström and accurate identification of the furniture model, especially when a chair is described as Lamino. Comparable sales are most useful when they match the same model and a documented production context. This source pack does not establish manufacturer, materials, production date, condition, provenance, edition status or realized-price ranges for particular lots, so none should be assumed from the artist name alone. Those details require inspection of the object, labels or marks, documentation and the underlying auction records before reaching a valuation conclusion.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Furniture and design objects
- Seating and armchairs
Value drivers
- Secure attribution to Yngve Ekström using documented identity, labels or marks
- Accurate model identification, including whether a chair is documented as the Lamino design
- Comparison with public auction records for closely matching furniture types and documented production contexts
Appraisal caveats
- The supplied artist input reports 189 auction records, but the collected public Appraisily page was rate-limited and supplied no lot-level descriptions, sale dates or realized prices.
- No major auction-house source was available in the collected pack.
- The sources do not establish manufacturer, materials, production date, edition status, condition or provenance for individual objects; these details must be verified before valuation.
- The Scandinavian Modernism association and Lamino production history appear only in the collected Wikipedia source and are not independently confirmed by a museum, estate or scholarly source in this pack.
