About the Item

This striking pair of 1970s Swedish Kroken armchairs, designed by Åke Fribyter for Nelo Möbel, exemplifies Scandinavian modern design with an emphasis on comfort and sculptural form. Each chair features a gently reclined laminated wood frame with flowing cantilevered legs that create a sense of movement and visual lightness. The frames are paired with generously padded black leather cushions, tufted to enhance both texture and ergonomic support. Integrated headrests and wide armrests contribute to a relaxed, lounge-ready posture, making these chairs as inviting as they are visually impactful. The contrast between the warm-toned wood and deep leather upholstery highlights Fribyter’s thoughtful material balance. Ideal for a living room or reading space, this pair offers timeless Nordic design with strong character and exceptional comfort.
