About the Item

Could they be designed by Marta Blomstedt? Maybe. Are they fabulous? Absolutely! We ship internationally! Please see our shipping rates! This dreamy Finnish duo from the 1940s is giving scallop-backed chic in creamy sheepskin, styled in the manner of the elusive and ever-mysterious Marta Blomstedt. With their scalloped oak bun front feet (seriously, how gorgeous are those feet?) and solid oak back legs, these chairs are the furniture equivalent of a vintage Chanel coat—timeless, sculptural, and utterly iconic. Let’s talk provenance. Marta Blomstedt, one of Finland’s most influential modernist architects, was known for designing every detail of her interiors—including the furniture. Best known for her work on the Hotel Aulanko in the 1930s, she created some of the most forward-thinking interiors of the era. But here's the twist: there is no officially published collection of her furniture works. That means pieces like this—elegant, sculptural, and distinctly Finnish—are incredibly hard to definitively attribute but are often recognized and attributed as being in her style. These chairs practically shout Marta, and we're here for the mystery. Scuffs and patina on the oak legs? Oh, honey—that’s called character. The wear is consistent with age and use, and they wear it well (like the Cate Blanchett of chairs). Perfect for: Your Danish modern living room A moody reading nook The chicest nursery on the block That sexy cabin in the woods you're furnishing with a Pinterest board and a dream These sheepskin showstoppers would effortlessly pair with legends like Viggo Boesen, Flemming Lassen, Ib Kofod-Larsen, and Hans Wegner. They're currently styled in our gallery with a Fritz Hansen sofa and a Papa bear chair, and not only do these chairs make a statement, they steal the show with their curvy lines and sumptuous shearling upholstery.
