Dimensions: Height: 74 cm / 29.14 in Width: 78 cm / 30.71 in Depth: 74 cm / 29.14 in Seat height: 40 cm / 15.75 in This rare Finnish curved easy chair, designed by Carl-Johan Boman (1883–1969) and produced by his company Oy Boman Ab in the 1940s, is a classic example of Finnish modernist design. Boman applied a structured approach to furniture-making, integrating organic forms with functional considerations. The chair’s curved silhouette aligns with the Scandinavian design principles of the mid-20th century, emphasizing efficiency and utility. Produced in Finland during a period of Nordic design development, this chair exhibits influences from both Art Deco and early modernism. Its rounded backrest contributes to a calculated balance between aesthetics and ergonomic support. The craftsmanship is evident in the precise joinery and use of quality materials, ensuring structural integrity and longevity. Carl-Johan Boman’s work holds a recognized position in Finnish design history. Having inherited an understanding of artisanal techniques, his production reflects a measured approach to form and construction. Manufactured in limited numbers, this chair is of interest to collectors and those with a deep appreciation for Nordic furniture history. It represents an opportunity to acquire a documented piece of 1940s Finnish design, defined by its restrained elegance and functional clarity.
