Pair of Upholstered Berga Möbler Armchairs, Sweden 1940s

About the Item

Designed in the early phase of what we know today as mid-century modern, this charming pair of armchairs is a unique evidence of how traditional Swedish craftsmanship was brought into modernism. Berga Möbler, later called Berga Form, began manufacturing furniture of the highest quality in 1896. This pair holds all the characteristics that define the manufacturer's style: soft, organic, playful, and sophisticated. The model is slightly tilted backwards allowing for a pleasant sitting experience. The tapered wooden legs add a touch of mid-century modern flair apart from being structurally integral, while the two front legs have a precise curvature towards the end; something which has become a distinctive feature of Berga Möbler's designs. The rounded backrest and armrests are just some of the elements that define the elegance of this pair. Slightly inclined towards the backrest, the armrests enhance the excellent seating experience, making this pair a great choice for any contemporary living space. The back is tufted with two large buttons that allow for a friendly and welcoming appearance. The cushioning is firm yet plush, perfectly balancing comfort and support. This attention to detail ensures that the armchair is beautiful and practical for everyday use. Crafted with precision and finished with attention to detail and care for the aesthetic dimension, this pair of armchair stands the test of time thanks to both their visual and material quality. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chairs have been reupholstered recently in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be reupholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information.
