About the Item

Mid-century modern is to-the-point and no-nonsense, much like the straightforward interior style, which championed notions of functionality, ease and modern simplicity. This armchair is a great representation of the quality and craftsmanship of Swedish master cabinetmakers, characterized by the best qualities of mid-century design. The design of this chair in many ways transcends the word ‘modern’, as it can be incorporated into contemporary and traditional interiors, lending itself to a timeless and universal appeal. The elegant lines of the design create an graceful silhouette. The chair’s generous proportions and upholstery provide great sitting comfort, supported by the solid wood tapered legs. The upholstery dominates the look, and in the absence of any ornamentation, the luxurious texture of the material remains in the focus. The historic movement of mid-century modern continues to permeate our sense of what’s contemporary. With a classic look, storied design and solid quality, this Swedish chair is a truly elegant and timeless piece. From the restrained aesthetic to the elegant pairing of materials, this armchair is a stylish delight from the era. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chair has been reupholstered recently in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information.
