Svend Skipper “Model 91” Lounge Chair for Skippers Møbler, Denmark 1960s
About the Item
To connect today’s modern styles with the craftsmanship of the past, it’s essential to understand how to care for your furniture. This rare pair of Svend Skipper Model 91, also known as the Papa Bear chairs, is a true gem of Danish mid-century design, originally crafted in 1956 and now carefully restored to its original shape. With a solid teak leg frame, teak nails, and a sturdy inner body, these chairs are built to last through generations.
Restoring such a piece is an art – it’s not just about filling the frame, but knowing how the curves should flow, the exact angle of the backrest, and where to hide or highlight the stitches. The seat cushions must fit perfectly, and the back foam must follow a precise curve to balance the striking teak nails and legs.
These chairs offer both comfort and style – perfect for sitting, lounging, or simply admiring. An iconic example of Danish modern mid-century design. Available as a pair or individually, shipped in separate boxes.
