About the Item
An early 1930’s Swedish modernist armchair designed by Axel Larson for S.F.M. Bodafors. Made of stained solid birch, the gracefully carved arms are beautiful as well as functional. The back and seat are newly upholstered in leather with a printed abstract pattern.
Towards to the end of the “Swedish Grace” period, designers many of which were architects, turned their attention to the furniture which would furnish homes in the new urban neighborhoods in Sweden’s cities. This “Funkis” or functional design movement explored lighter weight furniture which was in scale with modern apartment living.
"Funkis" style ignored historical period styles of the past. Pieces as this Larson chair, redefined what a chair could be as it subtly references modern art movements of that time which included cubism, constructivism
Bauhaus. The chair’s angled back, sweeping arches serve two functions one as arms and the other as a support structure. This new approach to furniture design was considered radical at the time.
