About the Item

This eye-catching chair was designed by Verner Panton and manufactured by Plus-Linje in 1960-1969 in Denmark. This Scandinavian Modern model consists of a bowl shaped top and a cylindrical base made from electrogalvanized stainless steel wire. Thanks to the form consisting of two elements, mounted with clips, the seat can be used in two ways - by connecting the top and the base, or by using the bowl-shaped top itself - hanging it from the ceiling. The chair is decorated with 7 pillows that have been reupholstered in sheepskin. The ingeniously designed chair is not only an extremely practical seat option, providing the best seating comfort, but also an accessory that gives any interior a touch of extravagance. Condition: In very good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The cushions of this lounge chair was reupholstered in sheepskin. Dimensions: Diameter: 95 cm / 37.41 in. Height: 65 cm / 25.6 in. About the Designer: Verner Panton was born in Denmark in 1926. He studied at Odense Technical College before enrolling in the Architecture Department at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. From 1950 he worked for Arne Jacobsen until he founded his own company dedicated to experimental architecture and design, which he founded in 1955. He was passionate about plastic and other new materials that he used to create colorful, vibrant colors and geometric shapes inspired by pop art. In 1959 Panton made his debut with his project Cone Chair, which resulted in cooperation with many producers like Vitra and Fritz Hansen.

Marta Blomstedt Sheepskin Wing Chairs for the Aulanko Hotel, Finland, 1930s.
By Märta Blomstedt
Located in ŁÓDŹ, PL
Pair 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.
