About the Item
This unique wingback lounge chair is a masterful blend of history and contemporary style. The solid wood frame is authentically Swedish, dating to the National Romantic era (c. 1890s-1920s), featuring beautiful turned legs with brass casters and carved, exposed arm supports. This classic structure has been completely revived with vibrant, high-end upholstery in a multi-color French tweed, dramatically finished with contrasting turquoise welting and pulled buttons. A true statement piece, this chair offers both the proven durability of vintage Swedish design and a modern, maximalist aesthetic - currently in vogue in interior design.
The period of Swedish National Romanticism (c. 1890–1920) was a distinctly Scandinavian style rooted in national heritage and honest craftsmanship, rejecting industrial excess. Inspired by the English Arts and Crafts movement and traditional Swedish folk art, these pieces emphasize solid, natural materials in sturdy, functional forms. Characterized by clean lines and restrained, stylized decoration drawn from nature or folklore, this furniture offers a warm, simple elegance that is foundational to modern Scandinavian design.
