About the Item

Mid-century modern design, a hallmark of 20th-century innovation, is celebrated for its harmonious blend of minimalism, organic shapes, and bold yet understated elegance. It introduced functionality as its central pursuit in a contemporary yet timeless way, while simultaneously maintaining aesthetic beauty through new techniques of the era. These lounge chairs have a cosy modern style, modeled on the Swedish and Danish furniture of the time, thanks to the round edges and generous seat cushions. Upholstered in beautiful sheepskin, the quality of this pair is paramount. Sheepskin is the ultimate material for comfort, warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and it elevates the size and shape of the chairs. While some mid-20th-century designs still made use of heavier ornamentation, this pair is much more pared down thanks to the upholstery that unites the separate parts of the chairs to create a flowing impression. With the curved edges, the outline becomes even more pronounced, increasing the visual interest. The chairs also feature distinct, curved so-called wings at the top that give the impression they are ready to embrace the sitter. Made of wood, the legs are slightly splayed for extra support. This detail of the construction shows the careful consideration of structural stability and therefore functionality. Additionally, the wood provides great contrast, both in colour and material, to the bodies. This pair of lounge chairs is elegant and comfortable evidence of the mastery and artistry of cabinetmakers who largely defined European seating in the 20th century. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chairs have been recently reupholstered in premium sheepskin. Each of our items can be reupholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information.
