About the Item

The expression “Swedish Modern” was first used in the 1930s, when modern Swedish design was becoming increasingly well known in Europe and the United States. It was at its height in the 1950s, and was characterised by many of the qualities of Modernism blended with natural materials, such as wood and a Scandinavian respect for craftsmanship. This elegant, classic pair of armchairs reflect the movement’s central pursuit of minimalism, simplicity and functionalism. Not only is the pair able to exemplify these principles, but it does so while offering plenty of visual interest. The design is based on a fully upholstered body and exposed beech armrests, which stand out through their dark stain and curved, fluid shape. The body is more angular, balancing out the rounded arms, and is covered in a light, sandy-coloured fabric which contrasts against the wood and showcases subtle refinement through its evident quality. The clean lines of the armchair let the upholstery and the stained beech wood shine, with both visibly displaying expert Swedish craftsmanship. The armrests flow into the front legs, with all four legs following the same slight curve, further increasing sturdiness and the solid build. These beautiful Swedish armchairs are early examples of Nordic mid-century modern design, as well as an outstanding craftsmanship with a quality that honours the materials and their users. This pair fulfills the main guiding principle of Scandinavian Modern, serving their functional purpose through beautiful designs capable of lasting lifetimes. Condition: In good vintage condition.
