Thor Larsen for Torlan Staffanstorp 'Ovalia' Egg Chair in Blue Fiberglass

About the Item

Henrik Thor-Larsen for Torlan Staffanstorp, 'Ovalia' Egg Chair, fiberglass, aluminum, fabric, Sweden, 1968-1978 In 1968, this postmodern 'Ovalia' Egg Chair was first presented at the Scandinavian Furniture Fair in Stockholm. The chair perceived great succes among the public that sought for symbolic, unconventional, and informal seating furniture. Although the chair is reminiscent of an egg, Thor-Larsen was inspired by drawings he made as a child that his family received during World War Two rationing in German-occupied Denmark. Besides its aesthetic appeal, functionality comes into play as it allows the user to take different position in the wide seat. A truly icon and postmodern piece that will grab everyone's attention. This model was in production for ten years from 1968-1978. Please note that we advise reupholstery before use. This item contains threadbare upholstery with loose seams and stains. Reupholstery can be done before shipping by our experienced craftsmen and -women in our own in-house restoration atelier. With high attention for the original, they make sure every piece retains its value and is ready for the many years to come. We kindly ask you to contact our design experts for further information about the endless possibilities our restoration and upholstery atelier has to offer. Of course, a locally organized reupholstery is possible as well.
