Otto Schultz Scandinavian Modern "Boet" Sofa

About the Item

Rare Scandinavian modern Swedish sofa Boet from the mid 20th century. The sofa is designed by Otto Schultz and manufactured by Jio Möbler in Jönköping. It has a padded seat, curved back with thick padding and two loose cushions. Wooden frame in elm. The sofa has the original upholstery with some smaller wear and marks. The sofa is a prime example of the Scandinavian 20th century design with attractive proportions and sleek finishes. This sofa has a luxurious touch with the thick cushion and padded backrest. “Boet”, which roughly translates to the “the nest” or “the home” is one of Schulz more iconic and recognisable designs. If you wish to have the padding and upholstery renovated we can assist with that for an added cost. Then you would also be able to choose the upholstery according to your wish and taste. Otto Schulz (1882-1970) was a German-born designer and architect who spent a large part of his life in Gothenburg, Sweden. In 1920 he founded the firm “Boet” together with Adolf Nordeberg which grew to be a very influential interior and furniture maker. Schulz had a daring and varied aesthetic which has become important to both the Swedish Grace and Scandinavian Modern movements. In addition to the store, “Boet” was also a journal that Schulz published in accordance with the firm and they would both fortify Schulz’s position in the interior design world. And this chair is the namesake of both the firm and journal.
