About the Item

A design icon of 1970s Swedish postmodernism, the Etcetera chair and ottoman by Jan Ekselius for J.O. Carlsson is instantly recognizable for its wave like silhouette and sculptural elegance. This example retains its original blush pink tie dye upholstery, lightly faded but intact. The internal steel and elastic frame offers a responsive, almost suspended seating experience. With its distinctive form and balance of tension and softness, the Etcetera remains a coveted piece of collectible design. DIMENSIONS Chair: 42"L x 24"W x 29"H Ottoman: 20"L x 24"W x 16'H
