About the Item

A rare pair of Brutalist easy chairs designed by the Danish designers Rud Thygesen and Johnny Sørensen, crafted in the 1970s. These striking chairs exemplify the bold materiality and sculptural presence characteristic of Brutalist Scandinavian design from the period. The frames are executed in black lacquered wood, creating a strong architectural silhouette that contrasts beautifully with the warm tones of the loose cognac brown leather cushions on both the seat and back. This fine pair of easy chairs / lounge chairs / arm chairs works effortlessly in a wide range of interiors, from contemporary minimalist spaces to classic modernist and industrial settings. A compelling example of Danish Brutalist design from the 1970s, balancing expressive form, structural clarity, and everyday comfort. These fine chairs will complement many interior styles. A Modern, Primitive, Classic, Scandinavian or an Art Deco home decor.
