About the Item
This rare armchair was produced in Denmark in the 1940s, and its striking design is attributed to Frits Schlegel.
The frame is crafted from solid cherrywood and retains its original Viennese cane seat and backrest. The flared rear legs sweep upward into elegantly pointed armrests, creating a distinctive angular profile that highlights Schlegel’s sculptural approach to form. Thoughtful construction details—including stretcher supports and a reinforced back section—add both stability and visual appeal.
The chair comes with a newly made custom cushion upholstered in luxurious ivory Lelièvre Paris bouclé, offering a soft, textured contrast to the warm cherrywood and natural cane.
It is in good, restored condition with a renewed cushion. The wood shows minor wear consistent with age and use, and the cane has developed a natural patina.

Exceptional Hans Asplund Armchair, Walnut and Leather, Nordiska Kompaniet, 1955
By Hans Asplund, Nordiska Kompaniet
Located in The Hague, NL
This exceptionally rare armchair was designed by Hans Asplund around 1955. Asplund designed the chair for the beauty salon at the Nordiska Kompaniet department store on Hamngatan in Stockholm. The chair was reportedly produced solely for the salon in a few examples, please see the last 2 images of the listing to view the chairs in their original interior. Adding to the historical importance of this particular chair on offer is the fact that it comes from the private collection of Hans Asplund himself.
The design is marked by the beautiful, sculptural frame, which has been entirely executed in solid walnut wood. The curved lines of the armrests, the legs and the backrest give the design a refined and elegant appearance. The seat, backrest and armrest are upholstered in brown leather.
The chair is in very good, restored condition.
Provenance:
Architect Hans Asplund (1921-1994).
Thence by descent to his son, diplomat and UN ambassador Bo Asplund (1950-2024).
Thence by descent to the previous owner.
