About the Item

Throughout Scandinavia, there's a long history of pride in craftsmanship using natural materials like wood. This wingback design has a rich history and purpose; it is said that they were first created to trap the heat emanating from the fireplace. This beautiful wingback chair is a great representation of the quality and craftsmanship of Scandinavian cabinetmakers and their mastery of embracing functionality. Scandinavian modernist furniture designs, such as this wingback chair, became known for their sober character and undecorated elegance. Comfort and functionality were often the priority and as this chair exemplifies, ornaments were considered unnecessary. The welcoming, rounded shape of the voluminous arm- and backrest is a signature characteristic of Modernism. The frame has a distinct, sharply-curved, and high back support with the so-called wings in the top that give the impression that the chair is ready to embrace the sitter. Along with the armrests, the wings curve outwards, which creates a unique look. The back is further embellished by stylish button tufting arranged in two parallel lines that enhance the curve visually. Made of solid wood, the front legs are vertical, and the back posts are splayed out below the seat. It is this detail of the construction that gives the chair a lighter and more elegant and stylish form. Through decades of changes in styles and preferences, the various iterations of what has come to be called Scandinavian Modern have managed to go on “speaking” to consumers, collectors, and design aficionados – and most importantly to users – in rapidly changing cultures. From the frame to the upholstery, this armchair and shows why. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. This chair has been reupholstered recently in a premium fabric.
