A stylish and extremely comfortable vintage Scandinavian leather swivel desk chair by Torbjorn Afdal. This was made in Norway by Bruksbo, it dates from around the 1960’s.
This model is called the ‘Minerva’ chair, the quality is outstanding. The frame has a gorgeous design and beautiful grain patterns. It is upholstered in lovely black leather, it swivels, tilts and rolls smoothly on casters. The height can be adjusted.
