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.
