About the Item

Throughout Scandinavia, there's a long history of pride in craftsmanship using natural materials like wood. This beautiful wingback chair is a great representation of the quality and craftsmanship of Scandinavian master cabinetmakers and the immediately recognizable characteristics of the region’s design. Scandinavian countries’ 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, heavy ornaments were considered unnecessary. The welcoming, rounded shape of the voluminous arm- and backrest is a signature characteristic of mid-century modernism. The back is very lightly bent and has stylish button tufting. The tufting stitches are festooned with eight buttons arranged in two lines, and along with the fabric, the chair gives a natural, textured look. 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. Made of solid wood, the front legs are vertical, and the back posts are splayed out below the seat for support. It is this detail of the construction that gives the chair a lighter and stylish form. The chair has recently been reupholstered in a premium bouclé fabric that is of the highest quality. Due to the quality of the fibre, the bouclé brings out the shape of this chair, illustrating how the pairing of Scandinavian design, the work of a cabinetmaker and luxurious upholstery create exceptional pieces. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chair is upholstered in a light bouclé fabric.
