About the Designer: Exemplifying the essence of Danish design and the modernist movement, this armchair, crafted in Denmark, embraces the principles held dear by both styles. Meticulous attention to detail and superior craftsmanship were highly esteemed by these movements. The mid-century era birthed remarkable furniture pieces like this armchair, which showcased exquisite materials such as teak or beech wood. This period marked the pinnacle of production led by master craftsmen, and Danish design gained global recognition for the successful collaboration between designers and manufacturers, leading to groundbreaking creations. Warm woods, premium fabrics, and ergonomic support for the spine were central to the Danish design aesthetic, reflecting qualities that fostered contentment and well-being—characteristics deeply ingrained in Danish culture. The "Great Danes" believed in minimalist furniture that harmoniously united form and function, stripping away unnecessary embellishments. Distinguishing a master cabinet-maker from a mere carpenter was the rare artistry attained after years of dedicated work and recognition from the Danish government. These exceptional craftsmen had to surpass rigorous design competitions before being honored with the esteemed title of master cabinet-maker. Denmark's unique form of tempered industrialization allowed it to preserve rich traditions while embracing the values of craftsmanship, materiality, and usability. Today, Danish furniture holds a coveted status among collectors due to its timeless appeal, iconic designs, and impeccable quality. These soulful works of art continue to captivate with their classic allure.

Marta Blomstedt Sheepskin Wing Chairs for the Aulanko Hotel, Finland, 1930s.
By Märta Blomstedt
Located in ŁÓDŹ, PL
Pair of Marta Blomstedt Sheepskin Armchairs for the Hotel Aulanko, Finland, 1930s. In 1936, architects Matti Lampen and Märta Blomstedt were commissioned to design the Aulanko Hotel in Hämeenlinna, Finland. This hotel was in its time a luxury hotel of international relevance. Here Finnish functionalist elegance was conveyed at its best. The armchairs in the hotel's entrance hall are today the subject of varying questions among design experts. There are claims that the prototype of the model made for the Aulanko Hotel was Fleming Lassen's "Tired Man" armchair from 1935. "Aulanko" itself became known all over the world. Most notable is the voluminous body that stands on four bun-shaped feet. While this model originally had tubular steel legs,today there are many variations of this chair, such as a 1941 model with wooden legs. Available in abundance in Finland, wood was used by many furniture makers as a substitute for metal, which was banned for furniture during the war. Until the late 1940s, Artek marketed a version of the armchair with round wooden legs. In the 1950s, similar but smaller models were produced by different manufacturers, including Kantosen Puutyö. This craze explains the appearance of many variations with slight differences. Armchairs are very comfortable and impressive. Through their streamlined and round shapes, they literally invite the user to sit in them and check if they are as comfortable and cozy as they look. For upholstery, we used the highest quality, premium sheepskin, which, apart from being very pleasant to the touch and cozy, is also durable. Furthermore, the warm brown colour of the wooden feet nicely contrasts to the soft, light color of the upholstery, creating a cosy look, not to mention that wooden bun feet make a long-lasting, rock solid foundation for any chair. * Price per piece, Euro 35 000 per set of 2 Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The armchairs are newly refinished and reupholstered in premium sheepskin. At the customer's special request, AMS Gallery offers a re-upholstery service in a fabric of choice. We guarantee the originality and authenticity of each of our items. The process of renovation and reupholstering is performed by experienced craftsmen with great attention to originality. Our team makes sure that each element retains its value and is ready for many years. Dimensions: Width 100 cm / 39.37 in. Depth 95 cm / 37.4 in. Height 90 cm / 35.4 in. Seat Height 40 cm / 15.7 in.
