1960s Leather & Chrome “Pirate” Lounge Chair, Elsa & Nordahl Solheim

About the Item

"PIRATE" CHROME STEEL AND LEATHER LOUNGE CHAIR Designed by Elsa & Nordahl Solheim, Norway circa 1960s Item # 209XGN17M A rich and interesting vintage lounge chair designed by Elsa & Nordahl Solheim of Norway. It is a precise piece with great angular lines executed in layered heavy flat bars finished in polished chromed steel, all of which has been beautifully machined. The leather is probably original and in overall poor-to-fair condition - probably still serviceable, but it would look incredible if recovered. The leather is supported by canvas that is slung to the frame. The curvature and bounce of the steel make the chair remarkably comfortable. We also may still have the matching chair together with its original footrest available in our inventory. Measurements: 26 3/4" D x 34 7/8" H x 25" W; 18" H to seat [chair] Condition Report: Chrome polished and cleaned, pitting and spots of chrome loss in a few areas. Leather is in overall "poor-to-fair" condition, overall being a bit dry, having tears and cracking, some discoloration/other blemishes; the headrest ties are damaged and the headrest is affixed to the frame with some black leather lacing instead of the original wooden pegs; the canvas is in overall fair condition and works perfectly well to support the seat, but also has some wear/holes/blemish.

Vintage Leather Kengu Armchair by Elsa and Nordahl Solheim for Rykken
By Rykken and Co., Elsa and Nordahl Solheim
Located in London, GB
A stylish and extremely comfortable vintage leather Kengu armchair by Elsa and Nordahl Solheim for Rykken. This was made in Norway, it dates from the 1970’s. The quality is exceptional, this is beautifully designed and is really, really comfortable to relax in. The tanned leather cushions have a gorgeous, buttery soft feel and a lovely colour tone. The teak bentwood frame has a stylish design, the cantilever shape means it rocks gently when sat in. We have had the leather revived, re-conditioned and hand coloured to give this gorgeous patina, the teak frame has also been re-polished. This is in excellent condition for its age, with only some extremely minor wear here and there. We also have a matching pair of high back armchairs, pair of low back chairs...
