Svend Skipper for Skippers Møbler Model 91 Easy Chair in Grey Stripe Velvet

About the Item

A Svend Skipper for Skippers Møbler Model 91 Easy Chair, teak frame, recently reupholstered in grey stripe velvet fabric. This particular example is in good condition, very minimal wear, ready for use. Designed in 1956, this particular piece was manufactured by Skipper Møbelfabrik in the 1960s. Due to its resemblance to Hans J. Wegner’s “Papa Bear” chair, this model is frequently referred to by that name; however, it is important to note that “Model 91” was produced exclusively upon request. Skipper’s exceptional craftsmanship can be observed in every detail, from the exposed teak arms to the unique shape and level of comfort offered. The “Model 91” features a masterfully sculpted teak base and legs. The teak tips extend at the ends of the upholstered armrests, a distinctive design element characteristic of this model. Additionally, the high wing-back is adorned with tufted buttons arranged in a single horizontal line. The loose cushion on the seat provides exceptional comfort while contributing to the chair's inviting appearance. These elements create a sculptural silhouette that contributed to the model's popularity during its era.
