About the Item

A Swedish Mid-Century Modern highback armchair, attributed to Yngve Ekström and crafted in the 1960s, embodies the timeless elegance and functionality of Scandinavian design. The chair features a sculptural oak frame, with smooth, rounded edges and a light natural finish that highlights the wood's organic grain. Its high back, slightly curved for ergonomic comfort, flows seamlessly into the gently angled armrests, creating a harmonious and inviting silhouette. The seat is upholstered in lambswool, adding a cozy, tactile contrast to the clean lines of the oak.
