Swedish Modern "Star" Lounge Chair by SM Wincrantz, Sweden 1950s
About the Item
The term Swedish Modern first became current in the 1930s, when modern Swedish design was becoming increasingly well known in Europe and the United States. However, it was at its height in the 1950s and was characterised by many of the qualities of Modernism blended with natural materials - such as wood - and a Scandinavian respect for elevated craftsmanship.
This chair has a lot of character with a welcoming presence that exudes high quality craftsmanship and design. The rounded edges and curves create flowing lines, which are further enhanced by the upholstery’s rich texture and softness. While the body embraces the sitter, the edges curve outwards creating a rim along the back and arms. This curve continues along the bottom of the seat as well, framing the seating cushion visually. Thanks to the interesting and stylish fabric, the upholstery can be considered the main decorative element, with its dark colour highlighting the chair’s curves. The thin tapered legs splay outwards, following the form of the chair and providing stability and a stylish contrast to the upholstery.
With its cosy aesthetic and material quality, this lounge chair is truly soulful and timeless. In the absence of any ornamentation, the focus stays on the simple and clean look, supported by the chair’s functionality and comfort.

"Orion" Sofa by Folke Jansson for SM Wincrantz, Sweden 1950s
By SM Wincrantz 1, Folke Jansson
Located in Utrecht, NL
Sweden contributed to the progression of form and function in its own way, based on long-standing traditions, natural resources, and the critical - yet often coincidental - availability of creative genius. Folke Jansson was certainly one of the latter, designing unique forms with an artistic touch.
Jansson is a designer who is difficult to define, being the creator of daily objects which are far from the organic forms of Alvar Aalto, and yet not aiming for the minimalism of Arne Jacobsen or Poul Kjaerholm. His experimentation has led him to play both with the free forms embedded into materials, and with the geometric shapes superimposed on them. This ‘Orion’ sofa...
