About the Item

A striking example of mid-century Scandinavian craftsmanship, this two-position reclining lounge chair designed by Alf Svensson for Fritz Hansen blends comfort, functionality, and iconic Danish modern aesthetics. Crafted in the 1950s–60s, the chair features a sculptural solid birch frame with beautifully contoured armrests that highlight the organic design language of the era. The frame’s angular geometry and lightness convey both strength and grace, while its adjustable reclining back ensures tailored comfort — perfect for reading or relaxing. Crafted in luxurious, textured ivory bouclé, the seat and back evoke timeless sophistication while offering plush support. The dual recline mechanism operates smoothly, reflecting the precision engineering for which Fritz Hansen is renowned. This piece embodies the enduring appeal of Scandinavian design, ideal for collectors or those seeking to elevate their interiors with a functional work of art. Whether placed in a modernist living room or a curated reading nook, this chair commands attention with quiet confidence.
