About the Item

This pair of armchairs by Swedish-German designer, Otto Schulz, is a beautiful example of his repertoire of cleverly constructed pieces. With a creative and masterfully crafted hardwood structure and leather upholstered seat and backrests, this model truly deserves its place in Swedish design history. Schulz's designs are a mixture of modern and baroque styles, as evidenced by these chairs. The pair was constructed with extraordinary care using beech and leather. From the carved backrests to the curved legs, the woodworking is exceptional. The beech is not overworked, letting its natural qualities and appeal define the frames. The fluidity of the carvings creates a harmonious contrast with the chair's angular structure, resulting in a design feast. Schulz modernised the traditional shape, avoiding excessive ornamentation while retaining the important features: the broad seats and backrests that give the chairs character and provide ample support for the human body. Furthermore, the combination of the materials gives a strong, rustic appearance. The colour of the leather compliments the shade of the beech beautifully. Further adding to the visual delight of this pair are the rows of metal screw caps that fix the leather to the frame. It is evident that the maker of these chairs possessed great talent in cabinetmaking, and used high-quality materials that became even more appealing with the decades gone by. This is visible in the beautiful patina of the leather and the wood. Otto Schulz's designs are well recorded, depicted among some 1,600 watercolors, sketches and drawings that are archived at the Rhösska Museum in Gothenburg. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Minor scratches and marks. These chairs come with their original leather upholstery or have been reupholstered by a previous owner.
