About the Item
A striking set of four original “Convair” swivel lounge chairs designed by Oddmund Vad for VAD Trevarefabrikk, crafted in Norway in the 1970s. Rare to find as a complete matching set, these sculptural chairs embody the warm, organic Scandinavian modern aesthetic with exceptional comfort and a playful, low-profile silhouette.
Each chair features:
• Rich cordovan tone leather upholstery with deep diamond tufting
• Oak bentwood frames with beautiful grain and warm tone
• Unique sculptural support arms terminating in a disc-base swivel mechanism
• Generously curved seat and back that embrace with lounge-worthy comfort
The combination of supple leather, precision-formed wood, and the circular base gives the design a dynamic presence from every angle. The chairs swivel smoothly and sit low, ideal for conversational or relaxation spaces.
These Convair swivel chairs are not only striking statement pieces on their own — their generous seat size, deep curvature, and low profile make them especially well-suited for entertaining environments like home bars, game rooms, or lounge areas. Their 360° swivel base encourages fluid conversation, and their open, inviting form pairs beautifully with mid-century or contemporary low tables. Whether used around a custom bar table or clustered around a game-room or chess table, these chairs offer a relaxed yet stylish seating experience.
