Midcentury Danish Sigvard Bernadotte Desk Chair For France & Son

About the Item

A very handsome and rarely seen armchair designed by Prince Bernadotte, Count of Wisborg. Bernadotte was a member of the Swedish royal family and industrial designer who worked in multiple disciplines. He is perhaps best known for his silver work for Georg Jensen. This design from the early 60’s features a highly sculptural frame with wonderful elegant poise. The wraparound backrest with exposed tenon joinery are a very pleasing feature. Produced from solid teak and newly upholstered in Tonus fabric from Kvadrat. This fabric is very sympathetic to the original colour and texture used in the mid 60’s by france & Son. France and son makers badge to the inside frame along with the designers signature to the outside front stretcher. No other designer was bestowed the honour of signing their work for France & Son.
