Condition: Original Vintage Condition Materials: Rosewood, Cognac Leather This Mid-Century Modern reclining lounge chair by Göte Möbler Nässjö exemplifies Scandinavian comfort and craftsmanship from the 1970s, designed for everyday living rather than formal display. Upholstered in original cognac leather, the chair was meant to age gracefully, developing a rich patina through years of use in living rooms and reading corners. The sculpted rosewood frame provides both visual warmth and structural strength, while the reclining mechanism allows the sitter to effortlessly shift between upright and relaxed positions. Subtle button tufting and softly contoured armrests enhance long-term comfort, making this a piece intended for extended lounging rather than occasional seating. Paired with its matching ottoman, the chair becomes a functional centerpiece—perfectly suited for conversation, reading, or unwinding at the end of the day. Fun Historical Fact During the 1960s and 1970s, Swedish manufacturers like Göte Möbler focused heavily on ergonomic seating, responding to a growing cultural emphasis on comfort, wellness, and time spent at home. Reclining lounge chairs became especially popular in Scandinavian households, where long winters encouraged cozy interiors and functional furniture. Rosewood was prized during this era for its durability and striking grain, often reserved for higher-end designs. Today, original Swedish recliners...

This is a very important piece of design history, and to understand why - it is all in the details, so to anyone interested in modern art and interior design, please keep reading. Vladimir Kagan’s 'Roll Back Day Bed' (model #6718) was originally conceived as a one-off design for a client in the 1950s. Valdimir Kagan selected Rosewood and Lucite, materials he had just started experimenting with at that time, blended it into a futuristic frame with a brass-capped cylindrical adjustable back cushion that can transform the sofa into a daybed and even into a double sided gallery seating system. All on top of Lucite legs giving the appearance the sofa is floating above ground. By all accounts - Vladimir Kagan advertisements, catalogues, the design community and even the team at Vladimir Kagan Designs had it documented that the design (model 6718 Roll Back Day Bed) was first put into production in 1967, however this one - this exact sofa in the photos and listed for sale, IS THE ONE that he created in the 1950s for a special one-off client. And it was later, in 1967 that he decided to bring the design into production, all based on this concept model which we have listed for sale. This is all documented with the Vladimir Kagan archives under registry 25073. They were thrilled to have found this surviving example and have added it into their archives, knowledge-base and timelines. They wrote: "We conducted a detailed review of the Kagan Archive, and we were puzzled to find that Vladimir consistently dated the release of the Roll Back Day Bed to 1967. Also based on Vladimir’s accounts, Hugo Dreyfuss retired in 1960, ending their partnership. This would mean that your example pre-dates the “earliest production date” we have on record for the Roll Back Day Bed or Roll Back Sofa...
