YVES EKSTROM Teakwood + Custom Upholstery Lounger

About the Item

An exquisite example of Scandinavian modernism, this rare mid-1960s armchair by acclaimed designer Yves Ekström hails from the renowned design capital of Copenhagen. With its super slender silhouette and elegant lines, this piece effortlessly captures the minimal yet warm aesthetic that defines Northern European design. Crafted entirely from original solid teak, the frame showcases the natural richness and patina of the wood—gracefully aged and meticulously preserved. The chair has been reupholstered in a thoughtfully selected, contemporary textile that pays homage to its mid-century roots while offering a fresh, modern appeal. A true statement accent chair, this piece is not only a collectible work of art but also fully functional and in pristine condition. Presented by MWM DESIGN INTERIORS, known for curating exceptional furniture and one-of-a-kind design pieces, this chair is a standout offering for our discerning 1stDibs clientele.
