About the Item

This beautiful teak and fabric model #91 'Papa Bear' wingback armchair and ottoman by Svend Skipper for Skipper Mobler was designed and made in the 1960s and professionally reupholstered in a soft, comfortable and attractive fabric in 1984 per the renovation label found under the seat. This wingback lounge chair and ottoman were designed around the same time as the Hans Wegner Papa Bear chair and shares many design similarities. This elegant Danish modern 'Papa Bear' club chair and ottoman by Svend Skipper for Skipper Mobler would work great in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern or Danish modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Postmodern room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. Consider using as a side chair, dining, cafe or breakfast table chair, bedside chair, fireside chair, dressing or changing room chair, hallway chair, entryway or mudroom chair, nursing or reading chair, conference room chair, office or desk chair, guest chair, lobby chair, lounge chair or occasional chair ideal in virtually any setting. Located in our Long Beach warehouse for viewing, local deliveries within Los Angeles available.
