Swedish Mid-Century Cabinetmaker Armchair, Sweden 1950s
About the Item
Svensk design, “Swedish design”, is unquestionably a conventional and popular branding device, with many companies explicitly promoting their products as examples of god design, “good design”. But svensk design does not simply represent “good” design made in Sweden, it also projects a powerful, concrete rendering of a sort of essentialized “Swedishness” embedded in objects, such as this armchair.
Rounded out lines, unexpected curvature and innovative shapes from every angle define the design of this chair. The aesthetic recalls classic English upholstered furniture and style, which is clearly visible in this armchair, however, the English inspiration is met with Swedish ideals. Swedish design is characterized by a minimal, clean approach that seeks to combine functionality with beauty. The pieces of this armchair follow the ideals of mid-century Sweden in a very evident way: the block-like silhouette and simple frame broken by unexpectedly curving arms and subtle, but effective line tracing that highlights these curves. The dark brown colour of these lines corresponds to the solid wooden legs, and together with them, highlight the light upholstery beautifully. The removable cushions and the tilted back offer great comfort, and fulfil the perhaps most important mid-century Scandinavian design principle, functionality.
With a lack of a corresponding Swedish name, 'mid-century modern' describes the attributes that were popular during the middle of the 20th century. During this period, the ornate was completely replaced with cleaner lines. In Sweden, “svensk design” in particular denotes a way of life, which can be traced in the openness, understated elegance, and high-quality craftsmanship of this armchair.
