context_page_description: Hans Ehrich is a Swedish industrial designer. Together with Tom Ahlström he, in 1968, founded A&E Design, a company which Ehrich still manages. Between 1982 and 2002 he was the CEO of the sister company Interdesign in Stockholm. Internationally, he is regarded one of Sweden’s leading product designers, and is referred to as the “Grand Seigneur” of Swedish industrial design. Ehrich is living in Stockholm and Berlin.
context_section_description: The first commission of the new design consultancy was to create a paintbrush with a comfortable grip, made of polypropylene plastic.  The client was satisfied, and the brush became a bestseller.  This was the beginning of the design of a large number of products, produced of different types of plastic, using different techniques.
  A&E Design soon became internationally known and awarded for its design of a number of products, such as the dishwashing brush “1230”, the bath board “Fresh”, the shower- and toilet chair “Clean” and the folding stool for museums “Stockholm II”. The stool today (2017), is present in more than 1600 museums worldwide, not as an exhibit, but to offer museum visitors comfortable support and convenient assistance.
  Very well known is also the “Turn-O-Matic M80” queue ticket dispenser and number indicator from 1974.  When the year 2005, in Sweden, was declared “The Year of Design”, the work of Swedish designers was honored by the Swedish Post by editing five stamps with well-known and successful products, of which one stamp pictured the “Turn-O-Matic” queue ticket dispenser.
  The dish washing brush and the queue ticket dispenser, the folding stool, together with several more creations from A&E Design are part of the permanent collection of the Nationalmuseum. The “Stockholm II” folding stool is also in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich.
  Until the year 2002, A&E Design had been rewarded  the “Excellent Swedish Design” (14 times),  the “Red Dot” (5 times, of which 3 in the category “The Best of the Best”), together with a considerable number of national and international design awards.  The worldwide successes have led to the nomination of Hans Ehrich as a member of the jury of the “red dot design award” since 2002.
