About the Item

Norway’s design aesthetic is playful and unique even among its fellow Scandinavian countries. Norway’s contribution to the golden age of Scandinavian design might have been less known, but invaluable nonetheless. These rare and striking Krogenäs armchairs stand as evidence. There is a certain quirky charm of Norwegian design. The mid-century era saw designers craft unique pieces with natural materials and expert craftsmanship. Despite that, Norwegian design has been punching below its weight. Perhaps it was this neglect that has given Norwegian creativity its own flavour, and a potential edge. These armchairs could be pinned to any major name of the era in terms of design and quality. The solid pines bodies have carefully sculpted edges and subtle decorative elements, such as the spindles on the back and arms, and the curving armrests. The seat is slightly raised towards the front and the back bent to create a very comfortable angle for the sitter. The upholstered cushions not only add to the comfort and cosiness, but also highlight the horizontal, ribbed spindles of the back and the vertical ones on the sides supporting the armrests. Krogenäs Möbler was a historic carpentry shop dedicated to the production of wooden furniture pieces of the highest quality, most noted for their pine dining sets and seating. Looking at this pair, it is easy to see why Norwegian design is being brought to the limelight again in the 21st century. While the country avoided the heavy promotion of its talented designers abroad in the last century, (historically, Norwegians have had a reputation for being reserved and distant – hardly suitable traits for trumpeting one’s talents) it is not only timely, but also sure that the rare design pieces will be rediscovered and celebrated.
