The “Schulz” is a model with a design that dates back to 1936 and is a staple piece on lists detailing the most important Swedish furniture models of all time. This lounge chair exudes quality and personality from all angles. Designed in the early phase of what we know today as mid-century modern, the first “Schulz” chairs were produced by Otto Schulz's legendary own company, BOET in Gothenburg. In 1941, the production was transferred to the newly started Jio Möbler factory in Jönköping, where the model got its name. With its classic shape paired with modern design, the generous seat and back, the Schulz was one of the most loved chairs in Sweden during the 1940s. The large, curved backrest features tufted buttons and follows the curve of the voluptuous seat, creating an inviting and open look. From the sides the floating back becomes visible, supported solely by the exposed, elongated back legs. The wood is the most important material in Swedish mid-century design, therefore the luxurious wool and alpaca blend upholstery highlights and complements the beauty of the stained beech structure rather than overpowering it. Jio Möbler has been producing unique, exclusive and handmade upholstered furniture of the highest quality since 1941. The artisanal production quality shows throughout this chair and takes the Swedish idea of furniture that last for generations seriously. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chair has been reupholstered recently .

Otto Schulz
Throughout his career as an interior and furniture designer, publisher and founder of the Swedish furniture company Boet, Otto Schultz was a key figure in promoting mid-century modern Scandinavian design.
Born in Germany in 1882, Schultz moved to Sweden in 1907, where he became interested in designing furniture and interiors. In 1920, Schultz founded his furniture company Boet in Gothenburg, where he created functional and traditional designs featuring quintessential elements of Scandinavian furnishings. Around the same time, Schultz started the design and living magazine Boet, which published articles and profiles highlighting Sweden’s most influential architects and designers. He served as Boet’s publisher and editor until 1938.
During the 1930s, Schultz created a range of opulent Scandinavian modern and neoclassical furniture, including cabinets, secretaires and side tables, using fine woods like elm, birch, mahogany and walnut. Many of his pieces showcased his patented use of decorative nails called Bopoint.
He was best known for the Schultz lounge chair, which he designed in 1936. Its voluptuous design featured a generous seat and a large, curved backrest and it was upholstered with a luxurious blend of alpaca and wool. The Schultz chair was highly popular in Sweden in the 1940s. While Boet originally produced it, Swedish furniture manufacturer Jio Möbler took over its production in 1941.
Schultz operated Boet until his retirement in 1950. He died in 1970. Today, Schultz’s pieces are favorites among interior designers and collectors seeking a mix of modern Scandinavian simplicity and lavish decorative style.
