Elias Svedberg Lounge Chairs, 1939

About the Item

The 1930s set the stage for the evolution of design principles that would eventually culminate in the mid-century modern movement, emphasizing functionality, simplicity, and a departure from the extravagance of previous design periods. The Elias Svedberg Lounge Chairs were produced by Sparreholms Snickerifabrik for the HSB (Sveriges Allmänna Bostadsföretag) headquarters are iconic pieces in Swedish design history. Designed by Elias Svedberg in the 1930s, these lounge chairs reflect the functionalist principles of the time, showcasing clean lines, ergonomic comfort, and exquisite craftsmanship. Crafted from high-quality materials, featuring a sturdy wooden frame and long pile wool, these lounge chairs exude both elegance and practicality. Their significance also lies in their historical significance, a symbol of Sweden's commitment to functionalist architecture and design during that era. These are on display in or Los Angeles showroom. Priced for the pair.
