Mid - Century loveseat in sheepskin, Kaminsofa, Norway 1950s
About the Item
Designed in 1946 by Norwegian designers Adolf Relling & Fredrik Kayser, this “Kaminstol” (or "Fireplace chair/sofa") is a distinct early Norwegian modern design. Besides the unique look, this sofa's manufacturer is also noteworthy as many of the Norwegian classic furniture pieces from the 1950s and 60s first saw the light of day at the factory Arnestad bruk.
The fireplace sofa as an expression refers to all kinds of seating placed in front of a fireplace, connected by a single shared characteristic: their comfort. With this piece, comfort refers to both the ergonomic and visual aspect. The frame in solid teak timber is crafted to perfection, showcasing the exciting angles and forms predominantly on the armrests. The sofa omits a cosy and welcoming appearance which is a result of the smoothed edges of the arms and legs.
Both Relling and Kayser were of great importance for the functionalist furniture style in combination with traditional quality in terms of craftsmanship. The backrest is supported by the tapered legs that transcend into the wide back. For optimal relaxation, the armrests are widened in the middle with a concave angle to support the sitter’s arms. The elegant lambswool upholstery goes very well with the Ash frame's texture and colour, accentuating the elegant design.
With a tremendous sense of proportion, this sculpted sofa is very comfortable and fulfil its task to provide warmth and comfort, not to mention; last for a lifetime.
Kayser and Relling both became some of Norway’s most respected designers during the heyday of Scandinavian Design thanks to their sense of integrating form and function. This chair was manufactured by Møbelfabrikken Arnestad bruk AS, established in Vollen in 1941.
