"Eva" Chairs by Arne Dahlén for Dahléns Dalums Fåtöljindustri AB, Sweden 1960s

About the Item

Swedish furniture design is a modernist story of enduring style. With their elegant shell shape, these lounge chairs embody the timeless appeal of Swedish furniture that was set in the past, by a cluster of iconic designers, but it continues to progress and fascinate. The stylish design of this unique Arne Dahlén pair combines the pared down Swedish elegance and modern aesthetics. The design is full of modern energy that has, and surely will continue to endure for generations thanks to its classic look, quality materials and evident craftsmanship. Chairs are often considered especially revealing of a designer's skill because of the strict limits placed on their design by the demands of the human body. With these “Eva” models, the designer arrived at a clearly-structured solution in which a high degree of coherence is maintained while the chairs appear visually light and open. The structures are made entirely of solid wood with sculpted and tapered legs that are splayed gently, giving stability to the shell bodies. The legs end in brass caps that accentuate the shape. The elegant simplicity and honesty of the frames are further enhanced by the premium wool blend upholstery which complements the both the cosy shape and solid wood legs gracefully. The streamlined shape and soft fabric create not only a modern and elegant look, but also great comfort, preserving the Swedish ideal of “good design” that holds functionality just as high as aesthetics. There is something universally appealing about Swedish furniture. Favouring the elegant lines of Swedish classicism of the 1920s the typical mid-century silhouette is gracefully rounded. Its simplicity is often copied, but the vibe is difficult – if not impossible – to emulate. This pair however, exudes it naturally. ‎Condition: In vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use.
