About the Item
This rare pair of easy chairs, designed by Sven Ivar Dysthe and produced by Dokka Møbler in Norway during the 1960s, exemplifies the sophisticated balance between industrial materials and traditional craftsmanship characteristic of Scandinavian modernism. The chairs feature a polished steel frame that provides structural clarity and a sense of architectural precision. Suspended within this frame are black leather seat and backrest panels, which contribute to a lightweight, almost floating appearance while maintaining comfort and support.
Solid rosewood armrests and side supports introduce a warm, tactile contrast to the metal and leather components. The rosewood showcases its deep coloration and pronounced grain, highlighting natural material qualities and adding richness to the overall aesthetic. The joinery and construction reveal an emphasis on visible craftsmanship and industrial influence, where each element is deliberately exposed and celebrated rather than concealed.
Sven Ivar Dysthe, a Norwegian designer recognized for blending traditional woodworking with modern industrial design techniques, gained international acclaim for his ability to combine functionality with elegant form. Dokka Møbler, the manufacturer, was noted for producing high-quality furniture during the mid-century period, often collaborating with prominent designers like Dysthe to create pieces that remain relevant in both design history and contemporary interiors.
These chairs are in good vintage condition, displaying signs of use appropriate for their age. The leather upholstery shows minor creasing and surface marks, typical of original leather that has been well cared for. The steel frames have retained their original patina with some light oxidation, which adds to the authenticity and character of the chairs. The rosewood armrests and supports exhibit a rich luster with natural tonal variations and grain patterns, underscoring the quality of the materials and craftsmanship involved.
