Swedish Modern Upholstered Lounge Chair with Birch Legs, Sweden ca 1940s

About the Item

Swedish Modern is a distinctive style that represents a design philosophy guided by functionality, simplicity and clean lines. The maker of this lounge chair not only had a preference for its main characteristics and materials, but a deep respect as well. The design of this chair is in favour of the user, maintaining the focus on the authentic simplicity, elegance, and cosiness associated with the Scandinavian style. The chair exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship characteristic of Scandinavian design during the 1940s. With a refined silhouette that balances simplicity with subtle sophistication, this chair stands as a testament to the era's commitment to functionality without compromising on aesthetic appeal. The open design is focused on the aesthetics of modernism, whilst employing the exquisite technique and material familiarity of highly skilled craftsmen. It is generously upholstered in sheepskin, offering a plush and comfortable seating experience that invites relaxation. The upholstery further enhances the chair's timeless quality, ensuring it blends seamlessly into a variety of interior settings. Supporting the chair are four tapered birch legs, which are a hallmark of Swedish furniture design. The stained birch wood, known for its durability, adds a touch of natural warmth to the piece. The back legs are delicately angled, providing both stability and a visually pleasing contrast to the softness of the upholstered body. The chair serves as both a comfortable retreat and a stylish focal point. It embodies a design ethos that values simplicity and understated luxury, making it a piece that is not only a functional seating option but also an elegant addition to any room. There is something universally appealing about Swedish furniture. Favouring the elegant lines of Swedish classicism of the 1920s, the typical mid-century silhouette is gracefully rounded. Its simplicity is often copied, but the vibe is difficult – if not impossible – to emulate. This chair however, exudes it naturally. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chair has been reupholstered recently in a premium sheepskin. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice.
