- Marta Blomstedt Sheepskin Wing Chairs for the Aulanko Hotel, Finland, 1930s.By Märta BlomstedtLocated in ŁÓDŹ, PLPair of Marta Blomstedt Sheepskin Armchairs for the Hotel Aulanko, Finland, 1930s. In 1936, architects Matti Lampen and Märta Blomstedt were commissioned to design the Aulanko Hotel in Hämeenlinna, Finland. This hotel was in its time a luxury hotel of international relevance. Here Finnish functionalist elegance was conveyed at its best. The armchairs in the hotel's entrance hall are today the subject of varying questions among design experts. There are claims that the prototype of the model made for the Aulanko Hotel was Fleming Lassen's "Tired Man" armchair from 1935. "Aulanko" itself became known all over the world. Most notable is the voluminous body that stands on four bun-shaped feet. While this model originally had tubular steel legs,today there are many variations of this chair, such as a 1941 model with wooden legs. Available in abundance in Finland, wood was used by many furniture makers as a substitute for metal, which was banned for furniture during the war. Until the late 1940s, Artek marketed a version of the armchair with round wooden legs. In the 1950s, similar but smaller models were produced by different manufacturers, including Kantosen Puutyö. This craze explains the appearance of many variations with slight differences. Armchairs are very comfortable and impressive. Through their streamlined and round shapes, they literally invite the user to sit in them and check if they are as comfortable and cozy as they look. For upholstery, we used the highest quality, premium sheepskin, which, apart from being very pleasant to the touch and cozy, is also durable. Furthermore, the warm brown colour of the wooden feet nicely contrasts to the soft, light color of the upholstery, creating a cosy look, not to mention that wooden bun feet make a long-lasting, rock solid foundation for any chair. * Price per piece, Euro 35 000 per set of 2 Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The armchairs are newly refinished and reupholstered in premium sheepskin. At the customer's special request, AMS Gallery offers a re-upholstery service in a fabric of choice. We guarantee the originality and authenticity of each of our items. The process of renovation and reupholstering is performed by experienced craftsmen with great attention to originality. Our team makes sure that each element retains its value and is ready for many years. Dimensions: Width 100 cm / 39.37 in. Depth 95 cm / 37.4 in. Height 90 cm / 35.4 in. Seat Height 40 cm / 15.7 in.

- Pair of Marta Blomstedt 1930s Sheepskin Wing Chairs for the Hotel AulankoBy Märta BlomstedtLocated in London, GBMarta Blomstedt Hotel Aulanko Wing Chair, 1939. This iconic wing chair was designed by Finnish architect Marta Blomstedt for the foyer of the Hotel Aulanko in Hameenlinna, Finland. Around 20 chairs were made for the Hotel itself with tubular steel runner legs. This version of the chair with the spherical, stained elm wood feet is an early production and was subsequently produced for local retailers. It draws inspiration by Danish designer Flemming Lassen's genre-defining 'Tired Man' chair from 1935. This is the larger of the 2 Hotel Aulanko versions that were made and is slightly taller and wider than the other version. This example has been reupholstered in New Zealand sheepskin at our workshop in London. _________________ Märta Blomstedt (1899-1982) was an architect and one of the driving forces of the Finnish functionalism...Category

- "Aulanko" Armchair by Märta Blomstedt for Hotel Aulanko, Finland, 1930sBy Märta BlomstedtLocated in Utrecht, NLThe Finnish architect and designer, Märta Blomstedt, was one of the driving forces of the Finnish functionalism movement. Her first works were noted for their functional, rather than decorative appearance, which clearly changed as evidence by these famous “Aulanko” armchairs. Blomstedt designed all aspects of her buildings including the furnishings, demonstrated in one of her most noted designs of the Hotel Aulanko. The hotel was conceived as a single work of art and the furnishings, dishes and textiles were part of the project. This model – designed in 1939 - got its name after this architectural project and was specifically designed for the lobby of the hotel in Hämeenlinna, Finland. While it has been stated before that this model was heavily inspired by Danish designer, Fleming Lassen's genre-defining 'Tired Man' wing chair from 1935, the “Aulanko” became world-famous in its own right. Most notable is the voluminous body that stands on four bun shaped feet. While this model originally had tubular steel legs, various iterations were produced for the hotel over the subsequent decades. This version with spherical wooden bun feet is one of the earliest examples created and until the late 1940s, Artek marketed this version of the armchair. The flowing, round lines are beautifully accentuated by the light sheepskin. Furthermore, the warm brown colour of the wooden feet nicely contrasts to the soft, light colour of the upholstery, creating a cosy look, not to mention that wooden bun feet make a long-lasting, rock solid foundation for any chair. The large curves and rounded edges of the body and feet are very inviting, asking the user to be embraced by the soft sheepskin. The Aulanko Hotel in Hämeenlinna (the city of Jean Sibelius) was in its time a luxury hotel of international relevance. In this “Aulanko” chair...Category
