About the Item
This stunning armchair was imported from Denmark and was originally in a dull, damaged turquoise fabric that was worn with the foam crumbling at the touch. We have fully transformed this stunning mid-century lounge armchair into something incredible. Upholstered in a high-end and quality fabric known as “Marmalade” which is a tweed like fabric, that is durable and easy to clean and maintain.
This armchair is designed by the iconic Danish designer Svend Skipper, whom is known and renowned for this specific design known as “Skipper Bamse Chair” or Model 91 as it was marketed as. “Bamse” means “teddy bear” in Danish. It’s often used to describe something big, soft, and cozy—fitting for the Skipper Bamse chair, which has a plush and inviting design.

Reference shipping. We have lots of experience of shipping to all parts of the world.

Our shipping charges etc have been preset here on 1stdibs and most are set to "front door" style delivery. We can and will where possible offer white glove in house delivery however this would likely need to be a bespoke solution. Bespoke shipping solutions can often take a few days to collect all the information as they often include a few parties help to cobble together and sometimes this process isn't as quick as we would like however if you want a bespoke solution on any of our items please contact us directly and we would be very happy to work with you to make shipping of any of our items as seamless as possible.
