About the Item

This extremely rare lounge chair was designed by Svante Skogh and produced by the manufacturer AB Hjertquist & Co in Nässjö, Sweden. This model -number 905- was designed by Skogh in 1955 and was produced for a very short period only. This particular chair has the production date March 1956 stamped in the inner frame. The geometric lines and the angular positioning of the seat make this a very striking design. The chair is upholstered in a smooth, black leather, with a vertical stitched pattern on the neck, backrest and seat cushions. The frame is in red beech wood.

Exceptional Hans Asplund Armchair, Walnut and Leather, Nordiska Kompaniet, 1955
By Nordiska Kompaniet, Hans Asplund
Located in The Hague, NL
This exceptionally rare armchair was designed by Hans Asplund around 1955. Asplund designed the chair for the beauty salon at the Nordiska Kompaniet department store on Hamngatan in Stockholm. The chair was reportedly produced solely for the salon in a few examples, please see the last 2 images of the listing to view the chairs in their original interior. Adding to the historical importance of this particular chair on offer is the fact that it comes from the private collection of Hans Asplund himself. The design is marked by the beautiful, sculptural frame, which has been entirely executed in solid walnut wood. The curved lines of the armrests, the legs and the backrest give the design a refined and elegant appearance. The seat, backrest and armrest are upholstered in brown leather. The chair is in very good, restored condition. Provenance: Architect Hans Asplund (1921-1994). Thence by descent to his son, diplomat and UN ambassador Bo Asplund (1950-2024). Thence by descent to the previous owner. Literature: Ingegerd Henschen & Stig Blomberg, "Svenskt Möbellexikon", Förlagshuset Norden AB 1961, pp. 162-163. Filippo Alison...
