About the Item

A rare and distinctive pair of armchairs crafted in Sweden during the 1930s, designed by an unknown maker. Made from solid pine, these armchairs feature a rich, naturally aged patina, sculpted seats, and bold, brutalist backrests—hallmarks of the so-called sportstugemöbler, a uniquely Swedish style of furniture made for summer cabins. Originally part of a full interior commissioned for a summer house on Runmarö in the Stockholm archipelago, these armchairs embody the rustic simplicity and functional charm typical of Scandinavian summer living. A true collector’s item for those drawn to timeless Nordic design with character and history.
