_____________________________________________________________
Aujourd'hui, les lignes de meubles les plus populaires du fabricant suédois DUX- ainsi que les meubles créés par son premier président, Folke Ohlsson - sont synonymes du travail que les obsessionnels du design moderne vintage du milieu du siècle aiment. Autre élément important, la marque est connue pour certains des moyens d'expédition et de production de meubles les plus courants de l'ère moderne. En Suède, Studio Ljungs Industrier AB est la grande société mère familiale de Duxiana (en Amérique, DUX). Initialement fournisseur de literie, aujourd'hui célèbre pour ses conceptions ergonomiques, Ljungs Industrier a été fondé par l'entrepreneur (et chocolatier) Efraim Ljung en 1926. En 1950, Folke Ohlsson, qui dirigeait alors l'équipe de conception de Ljungs Industrier, s'est rendu aux États-Unis pour étudier comment il pourrait développer l'activité de DUX, qui comprenait alors une large gamme de meubles. Peu après son arrivée en Californie, M. Ohlsson a ouvert un bureau DUX, d'abord à San Francisco, puis à Burlingame. Sur la côte ouest, le marché américain d'après-guerre en plein essor était impatient d'adopter les meubles de chambre à coucher abordables et pratiques de DUX, les tables, les fauteuils et autres sièges. Caractérisés par des cadres élégants en noyer et en teck et des silhouettes basses, les modèles de la marque étaient emblématiques d'une génération de modernisme scandinave qui avait gagné en popularité grâce à des visionnaires tels que la conceptrice de produits et architecte Greta Magnusson-Grossman, arrivée de Suède en Californie dix ans avant Ohlsson, et Finn Juhl, qui a créé une ligne moderne danoise pour la société Baker Furniture Company du Michigan en 1951. DUX a fréquemment collaboré avec des designers de meubles de premier plan, parmi lesquels Bruno Mathsson, Edward Wormley et Alf Svensson, un designer en chef du bureau de Ljungs Industrier à Malmö, en Suède, élargissant ainsi le portefeuille de la marque et établissant sa crédibilité en tant que source de design. Les créations de M. Ohlsson, comme ses confortables salons en cuir et ses rocking-chairs inclinables tapissés de laine, continuent toutefois de figurer parmi les produits les plus recherchés - et les plus imités - de la marque. En 1949, DUX a mis en pratique une idée que Ohlsson a brevetée pour la chaise dite « knock-down » ou « KD », un terme faisant référence à un assemblage facile et à plat. Il a permis à DUX d'économiser de l'espace dans les entrepôts et de l'argent en matière de transport. Ce concept a inspiré des centaines d'entreprises par la suite, notamment la marque suédoise IKEA. Aujourd'hui, les canapés vintage DUX et les chaises de salle à manger...

Unique Chairs, Sofas and Other Seating for Sale on 1stDibs
With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.
Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.
Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.
The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.
Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.
With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.
Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.
No matter your style, the collection of unique chairs, sofas and other seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
