Kurva Lounge Chair by Yngve Ekstrom 50's
By Yngve Ekström, Swedese
Located in GOOR, NL
I feel this is a very feminine chair due to it's thin yet curvy posture. It's old and the frame is telling you that in a nice patinated way. The old sheepskin was completely worn out. So this chair got herself a new sheepskin dress.
About the refurbishement:
The chosen sheepskin is sheepskin that is always used by Swedese for these chairs. In this case the chosen fabric is a little more special because the sheepskin consists of recycled waste pieces that have been sewn together into whole skins, so-called patchwork. The canvas and frames have not been touched an stayed in their original state with the right amount of patina.
She turned out gracefully beautiful and has great comfort and is very light. The kurva lounge chair is the precursor for the more well known Swedese lamino chair...

Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist “Adam” Pair of Easy Chairs, Sweden, 1950s
By Nordiska Kompaniet, Kerstin Horlin Holmquist
Located in Utrecht, NL
These “Adam” models are from the timeless and iconic Paradise Collection from the Triva Series, which was created in 1958 by Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist during her time as a designer at Nordiska Kompaniet. The name is inspired by “Paradiset” – the Swedish name for Eden.
This pair holds a soft simplicity and a uniqueness in its appearance - light, clean lines with an air of romance. Without worrying about short-lived trends and what other people thought, Hörlin-Holmquist created the peculiar shape of these chairs that is only increasing in popularity. Thanks to her unique vision, these chairs have an unmistakeable backrest that flows down to form the armrests. While the armrests sit low, therefore opening the seats, the chairs still give the impression of hugging the sitter. The upholstered bodies elevate the visual comfort, with stitch tufted backrests that are festooned with orange, symmetrically arranged cross stitches.
The upholstery is a premium, light Italian fabric with a soft touch that complements the aesthetic of Hörlin-Holmquist’s design. Similarly, the stained and tapered beech legs pair perfectly with the sculptural and organic form of the bodies. Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist had a unique and humanistic design vision, and thanks to her uncompromising attitude, these “Adam” easy chairs have become iconic.
Condition:
In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chairs have been reupholstered recently in premium Italian fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information.
Dimensions:
30.71 in W x 33.46 in D x 36.61 in H; Seat Height 16.14 in
78 cm W x 85 cm D x 93 cm H; Seat Height 41 cm
About the Designer:
Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist was born on May 30, 1925 in Arvika, Sweden. She was a Swedish modernist architect and designer. Hörlin-Holmquist graduated from Stockholm’s Konstfack in 1952, and before that she studied and worked in England.
She often worked with her husband Erik Holmquist, and together they modelled and created the pieces together. A key aspect for the couple was always to test their designs in their own home before completing a project.
"I think both furniture and textiles, wherever they end up, must be kind, gentle and courteous, but without losing their character. They should have human qualities, not be pompous and only stand alone, but be able to adapt to the environment they end up in..."
Hörlin-Holmquist worked and studied in England from 1946-1947 immediately after the war, where she also studied art history and became fascinated with the classic English upholstered furniture...
