Upholstered Swedish Modern Lounge Chair, Sweden 1940s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Mid-century modern is an interior style which championed notions of functionality and simplicity in design. This 1940s winged armchair is a great representation of the craftsmanship and quality of Swedish cabinetmakers, characterized by the best qualities of mid-century design.

This lounge chair design in many ways transcends the word ‘modern’, as it can be incorporated into contemporary and traditional interiors, lending itself to a universal appeal. The crisp lines “disappear” into the bouclé upholstery, resulting in a cosy impression. This is further enhanced by the enveloping back and round armrests for the ultimate lounging experience. The chair’s generous proportions and upholstery provide great sitting comfort, supported by the solid wood tapered legs. The upholstery dominates the look, and in the absence of any ornamentation, the luxurious texture of the material remains the focus.

The chair has recently been reupholstered in a bouclé fabric that is of the highest quality. The quality of the bouclé brings out the shape of this chair, illustrating how the pairing of the work of a skilled cabinetmaker and luxurious materials create exceptional pieces. With a classic look, storied design and solid quality, this Swedish chair shows why the historic movement of mid-century modernism continues to permeate our sense of what’s contemporary.
