About the Item

This pleasantly elegant armchair - together with a sofa - is from the “Chile” series by Swedish designer, Svante Skogh. His seating designs are exceedingly rare, especially the “Chile” series, making this chair all the more special from a design history perspective as well. Like many of his Scandinavian modern contemporaries, Skogh designed furniture that utilized richly grained wood, mixed with soft, supple fabrics. This is clearly visible in this armchair with a design that dates to 1953 and has its roots in the Swedish Modern movement of the 1930s and 40s. Accordingly, the design is gentle and welcoming formed from timeless, quality materials. The welcoming shell-like seat leads the look enhanced by the elegant bouclé upholstery. The arms blend into the back with edges that slightly curve outwards, opening up the design visually. The seat cushion adds to the inviting look, while also providing great sitting comfort. The inviting body is supported by an expertly crafted wooden frame with tapered legs that are splayed for structural purposes. Kling Möbler has a history of over 80 years. Einar Kling started his business in 1938 manufacturing furniture in Alingsås that was sold all over Sweden. Interestingly, the founder trained hundreds of Alingsåsers to become upholsterers and seamstresses in his factories in Holmalund and Kristineholm. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chair has been reupholstered recently in a premium bouclé fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Dimensions: 32.28 in W x 33.46 in D x 30.7 in H; Seat height 16.53 in; Arm height 23.62 in 82 cm W x 85 cm D x 78 cm H; Seat height 42 cm; Arm height 60 cm About the designer: Swedish designer Svante Skogh is best known for his mid-century designs produced by Seffle (sometimes written as Säffle), though he worked with a number of furniture producers throughout his career, which spanned the 1950s and ‘60s. Although there is little information available on Skogh’s personal life or career development, many of his designs from the mid-century have survived and are highly sought after on the vintage market today. His most well known of these designs was the Bodö Series (1957) of armchairs and sofas for Seffle, the rare Chile series designed at the very beginning of Skogh’s career, and the Cortina Series (1960s) for Seffle.

Svensk design, “Swedish design”, is unquestionably a conventional and popular branding device, with many companies explicitly promoting their products as examples of god design, “good design”. But svensk design does not simply represent “good” design made in Sweden, it also projects a powerful, concrete rendering of a sort of essentialized “Swedishness” embedded in objects, such as this sofa and armchairs. Rounded out lines, unexpected curvature and innovative shapes from every angle define the design of this set. The aesthetic recalls classic English upholstered furniture...
