About the Item

A characterful set of three folk chairs in the Tyrolean style, most likely of Finnish origin, dating from the early 1900s. The chairs are painted in a soft mint green, a later coat that has aged beautifully over time. Each chair features turned legs and a distinctive circular backrest with pierced decoration, giving them a playful yet rustic presence. Though their condition can be described as rough, with visible paint loss, wear, and small missing pieces on the backrests, they remain structurally sound and full of life. We have chosen to leave them untouched, as the worn surface and imperfections contribute greatly to their charm and authenticity. A truly delightful set that embodies the honest, timeworn beauty of northern folk furniture.

Pair of Carin Bryggman Armchairs in Green and White, Boman Oy Mid 20th Century
By Boman OY
Located in Helsinki, FI
A pair of elegant armchairs designed by Carin Bryggman for Boman Oy in Finland in the 1950s-1960s. The chair bodies are in original and very good condition. The upholstery has been changed at some point. The chairs are compact in size compared to other sizable Finnish armchairs, and are extremely comfortable to sit in. They can be put in living rooms, bedrooms, or even balconies since they don't take much space and can be easily moved single handedly, for they are light to carry. Carin Bryggman (1920-1993) was a Finnish designer and architect, who in addition to designing furniture designed the interiors for many of her projects.
