Swedish Pine Armchairs with Sculpted Legs, Sweden, 1960s
About the Item
The first golden age of Scandinavian design was from the 1930s through the 1970s. During this period, 20th century furniture designers from Scandinavia created designs that offered unique twists that would soon become prized for their innovative features, exemplified by this one-of-a-kind pair of armchairs.
While the main principles of Swedish Modernism centre around minimalism, simplicity and functionalism, cabinetmakers also liked to try their hands at wooden ornamentation. These armchairs achieve to follow the basic principles while also offering plenty of visually arresting qualities, which include the sculpted legs, the ladder back, and the cushions covered in upholstery adorned with buttons. The pine frame is visually arresting, defined by the sculpted legs that reach up to support the armrests. Swedish cabinetmakers relied on solid wood in order to provide the excellent support and durability that it delivers. Generally, lighter coloured woods, such as pine, were chosen so that the material could stand out as an important design feature. The wood here was beautifully moulded under the hands of the master cabinetmaker, creating shapes and smoothness that are unparalleled. The pine’s grain and pattern is very appealing throughout the design, which adds an organic touch to the design. This pair displays a beautiful contrast between the light pine frame’s colour and the elegant light fabric of the cushions.
The craftsmanship of this chair’s cabinetmaker was without a doubt of the highest quality, and the maker had a great sense of proportions. This beautifully crafted pair of armchairs lives up to its Swedish heritage both in terms of design and quality, which is further elevated by the luxurious bouclé upholstery.
