About the Item

This pair of easy chairs exudes quality and personality from all angles. The basic Scandinavian furniture design principles are all present, with a functional, simple base at the core that is free of unnecessary ornamentation, aided by high-quality materials and execution. Additionally, the bodies covered in soft and stylish sheepskin provide plenty of visual pleasure. With organic forms and harmonious proportions, these easy chairs are excellent examples of the great Scandinavian design from the era. Designed in the design phase that we know today as mid-century modern, this pair has a classic shape, paired with modern design. The generous seats and backs are welcoming, with the latter curving in such an angle that the sitter is gently “hugged”. The large, curved backrests feature tufted buttons that sink into the lush fabric accentuating its texture. The backs follow the curve of the equally generous seats, creating a harmonious look. The backside of the design is quite striking, as it is created from a single piece stemming from the base. The sheepskin used for the upholstery is the ultimate material for comfort, elevating the sheer size and shape of the chairs. At the same time, the wood also remains an important visual feature, as it is the most important material in Scandinavian mid-century design. The short and tapered wooden legs lighten the look, but are thick enough to provide adequate structural strength. The artisanal production quality shows throughout these chairs and matching ottomans that we have added for additional comfort, both physical and visual. Their thick and round shape stands out even more next to the chairs. Defined by cosiness and exemplary craftsmanship, the design makes this set ideal for any interior and style. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chairs and ottomans have been reupholstered recently in premium sheepskin. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information.
