context_page_description: Olav Haug was a Norwegian furniture designer and master craftsman whose furniture designs demonstrated a deep understanding of woodwork and quality craftsmanship. His designs won him awards and production orders from numerous governmental and publics institutions, yet he remains a relatively unknown figure in the Norwegian mid-century design landscape.
context_section_description: In 1942, Olav Haug was employed at Elverum Mobel & Trevarefabrikk in Elverum as a master craftsman in charge of design and prototype development. From the early 1930s and until late in the decade, the company had produced doors and windows for private homes and offices. But as the Norwegian private economy grew, a new market for household furniture developed. It was ten that Haug designed and developed his characteristic chairs and living room furniture. During the 1950s when Scandinavian mid-century design grew onto the international prominence, Haug designed the '36' dining chair, the '46' lounge chair, the 'Fabian' rocking chair and the 'Bastian' series that became his hallmark designs at the company.
