About the Item
Wingback armchairs have a rich history and function, with the original purpose being to protect the face from fireside heat and to create a sense of privacy. The construction of this pair of armchairs revolves around high-quality materials, comfort, and the mastery of the era’s European cabinetmakers. These chairs in many ways transcend the word ‘modern’, thanks to their timeless look - exemplary of the artistry of highly skilled European craftsmen.
The cabinetmaker behind the construction of this pair of wingback armchairs had a uniquely Scandinavian inspiration, clearly evident in their desire to retain elegance, functionality and comfort within the core of the design. This is especially visible in the backrests, gently tilted for added comfort, and the short tapered legs providing stability and balance for the ample bodies of the chairs. This set is reminiscent of Danish designer Fritz Hansen’s model “1582” armchairs; similarly, the armrests have a low and slightly outward curving shape that opens up the design, which creates an interesting look. The slightly titled frame has a high back support, with the so-called wings at the sides, that give the impression the chair is ready to embrace the sitter. The chairs are covered in a soft sheepskin that highlights their soft, curved shape. From every angle, these armchairs have a stunning silhouette and rich texture. Made out of solid wood, the tapered legs are splayed out below the seat, with the grain of the wood further enhanced by the contrasting light sheepskin upholstery. It is this detail of the construction that gives the chair an added refined and classic dimension to its modern look.
European designers believed above all that design could certainly be used to improve people's lives, a sentiment made obvious with these armchairs. These chairs preserve the value and beauty of master craftsmanship and exquisite materials, making them everlasting, unique additions to any space.
