Kallemo Lounge Chairs
Swedish
“An object shall stand the wear of the eye!” proclaimed Swedish entrepreneur Sven Lundh (1925–2015), who took over operations at revered furniture company Källemo in 1971. For decades, the innovative brand has accomplished just that with a range of original and unconventional pieces that draw on — and regularly push the boundaries of — Scandinavian modern and postmodern design.
Based in Vänamo in southern Sweden, Källemo was originally established in 1947 before it was taken over by Lundh in 1971. Lundh’s vision for Källemo was to evolve the company and to create sustainable furniture that would be both functional and wholly sculptural. The interest in creating forward-looking seating, case pieces, tables and more that are as much furniture as they are art deepened for Lundh during the 1980s, when Swedish designers began to explore the ideas that underpin postmodernism in their work.
Lundh sought to secure long-term partnerships with modernist and postmodernist Swedish and European artists and designers such as Jonas Bohlin, the creator of the scandalous Concrete chair, which caught Lundh’s attention at Konstfack’s student exhibition in 1982. Bohlin’s minimalist armchair, featuring an angular steel frame and concrete seat and headrest, was meant to be presented as a sculpture, but it fit Lundh’s idea of “artistic furniture.” Källemo produced the Concrete chair as a limited-edition series, and it became one of the company’s best known pieces.
Over the years, Källemo has collaborated with Gustav Persson — designer of Källemo’s Bank bench — Mats Theselius, John Vedel-Rieper, Jens Harald Quistgaard, Gunnar Myrstrand and numerous other artists and designers to create its unique collection of furniture. In 1996, Lundh’s son Erik and daughter Karin took the helm at Källemo, which remains a family-owned firm. Today Källemo pieces are held in permanent museum collections throughout Sweden and Europe.

Mats Theselius model “Star” easy chair Kallemo Sweden 2009
By Källemo, Mats Theselius
Located in Etten-Leur, NL
Beautifully shaped “Star” easy chair designed by Mats Theselius for Källemo, Sweden 2009. This iconic chair showcases Theselius’s unique approach to combining industrial design with comfort and luxury. The chair features a striking star-shaped, polished aluminum frame that supports a leather-upholstered seat, offering both visual impact and ergonomic support.
The high-quality leather is designed to age gracefully, developing a rich patina over time, while the aluminum frame adds a touch of modernity and structural integrity. The contrast between the sleek metal, white pearl back and the black leather creates a harmonious balance, making this chair both a functional seat and a statement piece. It is in very good original condition.
Perfect for contemporary or modern interiors, the Star easy chair exemplifies the innovative craftsmanship of Theselius and the exceptional quality for which Källemo is renowned. This chair is ideal for collectors or anyone looking to add a distinctive touch to their living space. An incredible catch!
Only 360 of these chairs are produced. This particular one is number 169.
