About the Item
Pair of Swedish armchairs from the 1940s, crafted in elm bentwood with elegant, flowing lines that highlight the natural warmth of the timber. The sculptural armrests curve gracefully outward, giving the chairs a light and fluid silhouette that is both refined and comfortable.
The chairs are upholstered in an ochre-yellow fabric with a subtle dotted pattern, characteristic of mid-20th century Scandinavian taste, combining understated elegance with a touch of decorative detail. The high, gently flared backrests offer support while emphasizing the chairs’ poised, vertical presence.
This pair embodies the craftsmanship and design sensibility of 1940s Sweden, where traditional materials and artisanal woodworking were paired with a modern approach to form and function. Their timeless design makes them versatile accent pieces, equally at home in classic or contemporary interiors.
