About the Item

Scandinavian design is a distinctive style that represents a design philosophy, guided by functionality, simplicity and clean lines. The maker of this pair of lounge chairs not only had a preference for its main characteristics and materials, but a deep respect as well. The design of these chairs is in favour of the user, maintaining the focus on authentic simplicity, elegance, and cosiness associated with the Scandinavian style. Through decades of changes in styles and preferences, the various iterations of what has come to be called Scandinavian Modern have managed to go on “speaking” to users, collectors, and design aficionados in rapidly changing cultures. Designed in the golden age of what we know today as mid-century modern, these lounge chairs are delicacies with a unique look. With a classic shape paired with modern design elements, the design combines the best aesthetic characteristics of the 1950s. The large, enveloping backrests dictate the shape of the chairs, as they visually form most of the structure. The edges curve outwards and the backs have a unique shape that resembles a fan. These curves create an inviting and open look, enhanced by the soft upholstery and the decorative button tufting. The large seats add a lot of volume to the design, keeping it grounded, therefore cosy. The sculpted conical legs are a pleasant touch, adding straight lines to the otherwise round edges. The warm brown colour of the wood nicely contrasts to the soft, light colour of the body, not to mention that wooden feet make a long-lasting, rock solid foundation for any chair. Master cabinetmakers were highly aware of body proportions, prioritizing comfort just as much as the visual qualities, therefore these lounge chairs provide ample support for the back and great sitting comfort. Without any heavy ornamentation, the focus here is on the round, flowing lines of the bodies and on the stylish upholstery. The artisanal production quality shows throughout and takes the Scandinavian idea of furniture that last for generations seriously. The harmony of craftsmanship, the materials, and the design makes this pair ideal for any interior and style. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Small scratches and marks on the wood. The chairs have been reupholstered recently in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.

European Mid-Century Modern Upholstered Lounge Chairs, Europe, circa 1950s

Located in Utrecht, NL

Mid-Century Modern, a design movement devoted to timeless functionalism established itself in the post-war period with furniture that appealed to the senses. Furniture design was guided by the famous maxim: “Form follows function.” For midcentury designers, materials were used for their own distinct; often a piece of furniture would combine only two materials or colours – creating tension and harmony without fuss or superfluous ornament and these fully upholstered lounge chairs are perfect examples of this sentiment. The duality of two materials and colour scheme create an elegant, self-supporting, and enticingly functional design. The combination of solid wood and high-quality upholstery is traditional in mid-century design for a good reason. The two materials complement each other by highlighting their unique material qualities. This pair falls into the category of the so-called biomorphic midcentury: furniture that relished in organic, curved, smooth surfaces, design that was moulded into the shapes of natural occurrences, and which was a lively contrast to the more austere machine aesthetic...
