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 pair of lounge chairs not only had a preference for its main characteristics and materials, but a deep respect as well. The design of these chairs is in favour of the user, maintaining the focus on authentic simplicity, elegance, and cosiness associated with the Scandinavian style.
Through decades of changes in styles and preferences, the various iterations of what has come to be called Scandinavian Modern have managed to go on “speaking” to users, collectors, and design aficionados in rapidly changing cultures. Designed in the golden age of what we know today as mid-century modern, these lounge chairs are delicacies with a unique look. With a classic shape paired with modern design elements, the design combines the best aesthetic characteristics of the 1950s. The large, enveloping backrests dictate the shape of the chairs, as they visually form most of the structure. The edges curve outwards and the backs have a unique shape that resembles a fan. These curves create an inviting and open look, enhanced by the soft upholstery and the decorative button tufting. The large seats add a lot of volume to the design, keeping it grounded, therefore cosy. The sculpted conical legs are a pleasant touch, adding straight lines to the otherwise round edges. The warm brown colour of the wood nicely contrasts to the soft, light colour of the body, not to mention that wooden feet make a long-lasting, rock solid foundation for any chair. Master cabinetmakers were highly aware of body proportions, prioritizing comfort just as much as the visual qualities, therefore these lounge chairs provide ample support for the back and great sitting comfort.
Without any heavy ornamentation, the focus here is on the round, flowing lines of the bodies and on the stylish upholstery. The artisanal production quality shows throughout and takes the Scandinavian idea of furniture that last for generations seriously. The harmony of craftsmanship, the materials, and the design makes this pair ideal for any interior and style.
