Model 68 Lounge Chair & Ottoman in Leather by Georg Thams for A.S. Vejen, 1960's

About the Item

Introducing a rare, authentic Danish Modern 'Fåtölj' Model 68 lounge chair and ottoman set designed by the influential Georg Thams for A. S. Vejen Polstermøbelfabrik. Designed and crafted in 1968 this now iconic chair model is ultra-rare as it features the ability to not only swivel 360 degrees but reclines as well whilst most Model 68's only swivel. The right-side lever locks the chair in and out of the reclined position with ease and features a solid walnut handle. Georg Thams was a German industrial designer born in 1935 in Flensburg and died in 2016 in Tønder, Denmark. He studied at the Flensburg School of Applied Arts and began his career working as a carpenter before turning to industrial design. In the 1960s, he moved to Denmark to work for the renowned furniture design company FDB Møbler, where he worked alongside such greats as Børge Mogensen and Poul M. Volther. Thams would go on to design scores of pieces that have become icons of the Danish Modern movement with pieces on permanent display in dozens of art museums around the world. With it's ability to recline and swivel 360 degrees, iconic lines and HEAVY duty solid aluminum bases this instantly recognizable chair and ottoman set are the epitome of modern luxury and comfort. Buy it as is or have us reupholster the set in a fabric of your choosing. Either way make it yours today before it's gone forever. ---Dimensions--- Chair Width: 32 in / 81.28 cm Chair Depth: 38 in / 96.52 cm Chair Height: 33 in / 83.82 cm Seat Height: 16 in / 40.64 cm Arm Height: 20 in / 50.8 cm Ottoman Width: 22 in Ottoman Depth: 21 in Ottoman Height: 15 in This luxurious lounge chair and ottoman set by George Thams for A. S. Vejen is in 100% original, vintage condition. The leather does show some signs of vintage wear such as discoloration, scratches and other patina of a once loved piece - all of which can be seen clearly in the detail photos provided. With that said there are no odors, tears or other damage present whatsoever. We do offer upholstery services. If this interests you please message us prior to checkout to discuss options and pricing. Both chair and ottoman swivel 360 degrees with ease and the chair does recline with a fully-functioning, solid walnut adjuster knob located on the right side of the chair. The solid aluminum bases show only minor tarnishing but are structurally sound and extremely heavy-duty and well-made. This ultra-rare 'Fåtölj' Model 68 Lounge Chair and Ottoman set are the epitome of comfort, structurally sound and ready for decades more of use. Please view all photos and video for details on this set's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request.
