Scandinavian Upholstered Lounge Chair in Sheepskin, Scandinavia, ca 1940s

About the Item

Scandinavian design is a distinctive style that represents a design philosophy, guided by functionality, simplicity and clean lines. The maker of this lounge chair not only had a preference for its main characteristics and materials, but a deep respect as well. The design of this model is in favour of the user, maintaining the focus on authentic simplicity. Designed in the early phase of what we know today as mid-century modern, this lounge chair is a delicacy with a unique look. With its classic shape paired with modern design elements, this model combines the best design characteristics of the 1940s. The large, enveloping backrest dictates the shape of this chair, as it visually forms most of the structure. The curvature creates an inviting and open look, enhanced by the soft sheepskin upholstery. The large seat adds a lot of volume to the design, keeping it grounded, therefore cosy. The sculpted conical legs are a pleasant touch, adding straight lines to the otherwise round edges. The warm brown colour of the wood nicely contrasts to the soft, light colour of the body, not to mention that wooden feet make a long-lasting, rock solid foundation for any chair. Master cabinetmakers were highly aware of body proportions, prioritizing comfort just as much as the visual qualities, therefore this lounge chair provides support for the back and great sitting comfort. Through decades of changes in styles and preferences, the various iterations of what has come to be called Scandinavian Modern have managed to go on “speaking” to consumers, collectors, and design aficionados – and most importantly to users – in rapidly changing cultures. This early mid-century lounge chair shows why. Without any ornamentation, the focus here is on the round, flowing lines of the body and its upholstery. The sheepskin used for the upholstery is the ultimate material for comfort, warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chair has been reupholstered recently in premium sheepskin. Dimensions: 80 cm W x 80 cm D x 74 cm H x 43 cm SH Shipping: This lounge chair will be packed and shipped with the greatest care to make sure you will receive the item in the gallery condition.
