About the Item
Scandinavian design is a distinctive style that represents a design philosophy, guided by functionality, simplicity and clean lines. The maker of this lounge chair not only had a preference for its main characteristics and materials, but showed a deep respect for the movement as well. The design of this model is in favour of the user, maintaining the focus on authentic simplicity.
Created in the early phase of what we know today as mid-century modern, this lounge chair is a Danish delicacy, with a unique look. With its classic shape paired with modern design elements, this model combines the best design characteristics of the 1940s. The large, enveloping backrest dictates the shape of this chair, as it forms most of the structure, including the armrests. The curvature creates an inviting and open look, enhanced by the soft sheepskin upholstery. The spherical, so-called bun feet on the chair’s front legs are a pleasant touch. The warm brown colour of the stained beech nicely contrasts to the soft, light colour of the body, not to mention that wooden bun feet make a long-lasting, rock solid foundation for any chair. The back legs differ, they are straight, which is an eccentric detail that adds visual interest. Master cabinetmakers were highly aware of body proportions, prioritizing comfort just as much as the visual qualities, therefore this lounge chair provides support for the back and great sitting comfort.
Through decades of changes in styles and preferences, the various iterations of what has come to be called Danish Modern have managed to go on “speaking” to consumers, collectors, and design aficionados – and most importantly to users – in rapidly changing cultures. This early Danish mid-century lounge chair shows why. Without any tufting or festooning, the focus here is on the round, flowing lines of the body and its upholstery. The sheepskin used for the upholstery is the ultimate material for comfort, warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
