About the Item

A stylish pair of midcentury design 'Galaxy' chairs, designed by Alf Svensson & Yngvar Sandström for DUX circa 1968, with pink upholstered button-back seat covers, black moulded plastic shell seats that rest on a black lacquered aluminum four legged swivel-bases. Swedish furniture designer Alf Svensson (1929-1992) was particularly active in the 1950s through the 1970s, designing storage, tables and seating for a variety of influential manufacturers. During the 1950s, like many of his Swedish and Scandinavian contemporaries, Svensson utilized traditional materials such as richly grained teak and rosewood, and leather to create pieces that were typically designed in the Scandinavian Modern style. Examples include the Contour Lounge Chair (1950s) and the Te-Ve chair (1953) for Ljungs Industrier; the Congo easy chair (1954) for Haga Fors, the sectional Domus 1 chair (1955) for DUX, which was originally designed for the H55 exhibition in Helsinborg, Sweden; and a high back reclining lounge chair (1957) for Fritz Hansen. Svensson also designed tables for Tingströms, lighting for Bergboms, and storage solutions for Bjästa. Svensson’s designs for the Swedish furniture maker DUX are arguably his most well-known. In particular, his collection of easy chairs and lounge chairs, known as the form series, which was designed in the 1960s and 1970s. Other designs include, the Galaxy Chair (1968 with Yngve Sandström), which has a moulded plastic shell that rests on a white lacquered aluminum swivel-base; and the swiveling Contourette Roto chair, (1960s).
