Norell Möbel AB Armchairs

Swedish

Swedish furniture company Norell Möbel AB continues the legacy of founder Arne Norell who created timeless, hand-crafted mid-century furnishings and impacted the world of Scandinavian modern furniture.

In 1954, Norell opened his first workshop in Solna, Sweden, before moving to Småland in 1958 to establish Möbel AB, today known as Norell Möbel AB. Arne Norell designed using a mix of turned and bentwood, leather and metal to create comfortable and durable sofas, lounge chairs and other furniture until his death in 1971.

His career working out of Småland produced some of his greatest work, such as the Inca armchair, the Indra and Ilona sofas, and the Sirocco Chair. Inspired by the iconic Safari chair by Kaare Klint, known as the father of Danish modern furniture design, the Sirocco chair was unique in that Norell used leather straps and buckles to secure the chair together over traditional glue and screws.

Norell Möbel AB has put many of Arne Norell’s designs into production for the first time since his death, contributing to Norell’s designs becoming better known and more collectible. During Norell’s lifetime, his work was popular among European interior designers; since then, Norell Möbel AB’s furniture has found homes in Swedish Parliament buildings, embassies, restaurants and hotels. Two years after Norell’s death, the British Furniture Manufacturers awarded his Ari chair the Showpiece of the Year award.

Norell Möbel AB remains a family-run company passed down to Norell’s daughter, Swedish furniture designer Marie Norell-Möller. Norell-Möller has produced many of her own award-winning designs, like the Paris café chair and the Leo armchair. A graduate from the Swedish University of Art, Crafts and Design, Norell-Möller developed a keen eye for softer, approachable designs, counter to many industrial forms found today. Norell-Möller’s designs, in tandem with her father’s, are handcrafted out of the same factory Arne started back in the 1960s.

Arne Norell AB Inca Easy Chair with Ottoman Cognac Leather Mid Century Sweden
By Norell Möbel AB, Arne Norell
Located in Vienna, AT
Original Arne Norell with one matching ottoman, manufactured in Sweden in 1960's - makers mark price is for the chair + the ottoman Great comfort chair in wonderful vintage condition from Arne Norell. It has been greatly inspired by the Safari chairs of the 1950's and therefore is also easy to fully disassemble; it's especially worth noticing that Norell did not use any screws for the construction. The chair solely is held together by the wooden joints and the meticulous construction and crafting of those. It's made from soft Aniline leather in light brown or cognac color and looks absolutely fresh and in great condition. We have given it a treatment including cleaning and impregnation. The construction leather spanning from side to side is sturdy bull leather in a different brown tone which was chosen intentionally. Great comfort with an ottoman for extra relaxation. It shows some scratches and stains here and there other than that the chair and ottoman are perfectly fine for decades of use and very hard to find in this original condition. Dimensions are H 35.4" x W36 x D.36". Seat height is 15.75". Ottoman: 21.7" x 30" x 15.75" These will ship crated...
