About the Item

The Holmenkollen lounge chair, designed by Arne Tidemand Ruud and produced by AS Inventar, is a beautiful example of mid-century Scandinavian design. It features a teak frame, with thick leather used for the seating and wool upholstery on the cushions. The angle of the chair can be adjusted using the handle under the left armrest. This particular chair is in very good condition, with the exception of the cushions, which have been replaced. There is also a small piece of wood missing on the underside of the chair, as shown in the picture. Arne Tidemand Ruud was a master carpenter and interior architect from Norway. He was the son of a master cabinetmaker and attended the State's Handicrafts and Art Industry School, as well as the Kunstgewerbeschule in Stuttgart. In 1945, he obtained his tradesman's certificate and took over his father's company, AS Inventar, in 1952. He ran the company with his wife, Solveig Tidemand Ruud. AS Inventar supplied furniture and interiors to a number of establishments, including the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. However, Ruud is most well-known for his Holmenkollen lounge chair. The Holmenkollen chair is a true flagship of Norwegian mid-century design. Its sleek lines, high-quality materials, and comfortable seating make it a perfect addition to any modern living space. Despite its age, this chair is in very good condition, making it a great choice for collectors of mid-century furniture. The only exceptions are the cushions, which have been replaced, and the small piece of wood missing on the underside of the chair. Overall, the Holmenkollen lounge chair is a stunning piece of design that would be a valuable addition to any collection. *** PLEASE NOTE that, due to the current global situation, we and our shipping partners are unable to provide guaranteed delivery times for your items.
