MCM Arm Lounge Chairs Tapered Legs & Brass Sabots Style Folke Ohlsson for DUX

About the Item

Lovely vintage MCM or Mid-Century Danish Modern armchairs or lounge chairs with tapered legs & brass sabots in the style of Folke Ohlsson for DUX. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. On the front right side of one chair where the stretcher screws to the leg, the stretcher had split and has been repaired. We believe these were reupholstered and given new foam prior to our purchase. They also may have been refinished. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Mid 20th Century. Well, YES, you are seeing double! This is a stunning pair of vintage chairs in the style of Folke Ohlsson for DUX comprised of gorgeous walnut toned frames featuring a floating seat effect, the original canvas insert in the seat frame, a slightly angled spindle back, and brass sabots on the round tapered legs. The brass sabots have fabulous, aged patina which we left alone as we appreciate the vintage beauty and additional character. We are pretty sure these chairs have been refinished and they have new foam or new cushions and newer mauve & purple tweed upholstery. The fabric has button detail on the seat back and gives off different color hues in various lights… they look more mauve in some lighting and a bit more purple in others… It’s GORGEOUS!! They are mid-century modern with a Scandinavian Modern flair, or what my mom/grandma in the 1960’s called Danish Modern, and they are sure to make a statement in any room of your home. They will be fabulous across from the sofa in the living room, in the sitting room with an accent table in between, in the corner of your bedroom, or in the family room facing the fireplace. Comfort, versatility, and a classic style you will be sure to love for years to come. We LOVE this pair of chairs in the style of Folke Ohlsson for DUX, don’t you? Of course, you do!! Then you simply MUST make them YOURS!!!

    By Folke Ohlsson, Dux of Sweden
    Located in Topeka, KS
    Handsome and iconic Scandinavian Modern Scissor lounge chair designed by Folke Ohlsson for DUX. It is in wonderful vintage condition. The wood frame has been restored; however, there may still be small signs of age. We did have to fill some rather deep flaws in the wood. The straps have been replaced with appropriate new straps. And the foam cushions are new and newly upholstered. Please see photos, circa 1950s. Now you can get all your DUX in a row!! Sorry, I couldn’t resist. This is the iconic and beautiful Scissor Lounge Chair. It was designed by Folke Ohlsson for his company DUX, Inc. purportedly in 1949. It is so incredible in its simplicity and when viewed from the side you can see immediately where it got its name. We are very excited about this wonderful chair here at our shop. Its walnut frame has been completely restored and we have replaced all the straps, which were beyond repair, with proper strapping. Plus, we have made new foam cushions and upholstered them in a fabulous black and taupe horizontal stripe fabric. Folke Ohlsson is a Scandinavian Modern Swedish furniture...

We attempt to portray any imperfections. Design Date, 1958. circa, 1960-1978. (We currently have three currently available but priced separately.) I can’t think of anything better than a vintage Charles & Ray Eames for Herman Miller Aluminum Group high back chair!!! Except maybe a purple one!! Aubergine Eggplant, Purple whichever!! WOW!!! It is comprised of an aluminum frame, 4 prong aluminum base with nylon feet, black swivel shaft, black powder coated aluminum arms, and it has been reupholstered in a lovely aubergine or eggplant faux suede fabric. Can we just say Design EXCELLENCE!!!! And not to mention extraordinary comfort! The dynamic design duo of husband and wife team Charles & Ray Eames focused on every detail and combined ergonomics, flexibility, constructive elements, highest quality materials, and attention to superior style which created a masterpiece that is highly sought after still today. The design was introduced in 1958 and is still in production! This vintage beauty will be phenomenal at a desk in an office setting, next to your bed or in the dressing area of your bedroom, or extra seating in the sitting room. It is versatile enough to blend in with many décor styles, but it’s bursting with Mid-Century Modern magnificence!! This treasure is exactly what the designer ordered! Charles Eames was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1907. Ray Kaiser Eames was born in Sacramento, California in 1912. They met at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan and were married in 1941. They moved together to California and continued their design work they began together at Cranbrook. A commission, which they acquired from the government during WWII to produce molded plywood splints and stretchers, launched a career producing iconic Mid-Century Modern furnishings which are still fresh and sought after today. The Eames and their association with Herman Miller were the partnership of the century. If you want to learn more about Charles and Ray please visit Eames Office, the Eames Official website.
