“Schulz” Lounge Chair by Otto Schulz for Jio Möbler Jönköping, Sweden, 1950

About the Item

“Schulz” Lounge Chair by Otto Schulz for Jio Möbler Jönköping, Sweden, circa 1950 Birch wood and green velvet fabric Upholstery. Good condition. 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. 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.
