Wingback Armchair in Brown Longhair Sheepskin, Denmark 1960s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
This beautiful Danish armchair recalls the peak of Danish mid-century modern design. Thanks to its curved shape and luxurious materials, this model is exceptionally cosy and elegant. Armchairs like this are statement pieces in any space, but they can also adapt to a variety of styles thanks to their universal appeal.

The distinct look of this chair is the result of the brilliant pairing of materials. The wooden structure’s smooth lines stand out against the textural sheepskin, while also accentuating the unique look of the upholstery. The soft fibres of the lightweight, feathery sheepskin drape beautifully over this chair, while the warm brown colour of the wood adds depth. The desire to keep functionality and comfort at the core of the design is also visible, especially in the gently angled back legs that connect with the arms. The armrests have a peculiar shape, with perfectly sculpted curves to accommodate the sitter. Their smooth surface is greatly elevated next to the sheepskin, complementing each other’s unique qualities. Serving the level of comfort even further is the elongated seat that is perfect for lounging. The classic mid-century design principles are all present in this model, as it is functional, well-crafted, and free of unnecessary ornamentation. In contrast to the streamlined form, the sheepskin upholstery provides great visual interest and transforms this armchair into a beautiful accent element in any space.

The rise of Danish furniture is deeply rooted in the transformative shift in design philosophy during and post-World War II. Danish designers turned limitations into creative opportunities, creating lightweight, robust, and aesthetically pleasing furnishings, like this armchair. Chairs like this always seem to come back in style due to their versatility; they can easily be dressed up with statement cushions for formal occasions, or make a subtle statement in any day-to-day living space.
