'4' Kroken Buffalo Leather Lounge Chairs by Åke Fribytter for Nelo Sweden, 1970s

About the Item

Presenting the Kroken Lounge Chair, an exceptional design by Åke Fribytter for Nelo Möbel of Sweden, hailing from the stylish era of the 1970's. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to purchase up to four matching vintage chairs, finished in natural beech and luxurious black buffalo leather! What sets the Kroken Chair apart is its large and chunky profile, offering a bold and inviting presence in any space. The ergonomic seat design ensures optimal comfort, allowing you to sink into relaxation with ease. The cantilevered silhouette of the chair adds a subtle bounce that enhances the seated experience, making it not just a piece of furniture but a dynamic and interactive design. The frame of the Kroken chair is constructed from bent laminated beech wood, a medium which provides both the strength pliability needed to create the bold organic curves and daring lines of Åke Fribytter's singular vision. The airy warmth of this blonde wood creates a striking contrast with the contemporary design, while the cushions - finished in sumptuous black buffalo leather - add a luxurious and masculine touch. The choice of leather not only exudes sophistication but also promises durability, ensuring that this chair remains a statement piece for years to come.
