Chaise Longue by Staffan Westerberg for Record AB, Sweden Mid-20th Century

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
This stunning chaise longue revolves around the use of high-quality materials, comfort, and the craftsmanship of Staffan Westerberg. It’s flowing lines and gentle curves offer a pleasing contrast to the clean lines and angular shapes often associated with mid-century modern interiors.

The form of this chair prioritises its user, maintaining the focus on authentic simplicity, elegance, and most of all, comfort. This is most visible in the rounded, welcoming body and choice of all-over upholstery. Not only is the chair well thought-out from a functional perspective, but the asymmetrical shape of the backrest showcases a uniqueness achieved purely through the simplicity of its lines, a mark of an expert cabinetmaker. The earthy colour of the fabric reflects the mid-century Scandinavian ethos of bringing nature indoors, creating a warm and calming atmosphere. The fabric, though modest in appearance, enhances the chaise's sculptural quality, inviting relaxation while maintaining a sophisticated presence in any interior setting. The chair’s visual appeal and interest is even further enhanced by the tufted buttons on the backrest.

Elegant yet unpretentious, this chaise longue illustrates the mid-century Swedish commitment to quality materials and thoughtful design. Its restrained palette and organic shape make it a timeless piece, that can easily integrate into both contemporary and traditional environments. It is not only a seat but a statement of quiet luxury and enduring design principles.
