Mid-Century Scandinavian Lounge Chair in Sheepskin, Scandinavia circa 1950s

Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
This lounge chair exudes quality and personality from all angles. The basic Scandinavian furniture design principles are all present - as this model is functional, simple at its core, well-crafted, and free of unnecessary ornamentation. After all, the upholstered body in soft and stylish sheepskin provides plenty of visual pleasure.

With organic forms and harmonious proportions, this model is an excellent example of great Scandinavian design from the era. Designed in the phase of what we know today as mid-century modern, this lounge chair has a classic shape paired with a modern form. The generous seat and back are welcoming, with the latter curving in such an angle that the sitter is “hugged”. The large, curved backrest features tufted buttons and follows the curve of the equally generous seat, creating a harmonious look. The backside of this chair is quite striking, as it is created from a single piece stemming from the base. The sheepskin used for the upholstery is the ultimate material for comfort, warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It elevates the sheer size and shape of the chair, especially its back. At the same time, the wood also remains an important visual feature, as it is the most important material in Scandinavian mid-century design. The solid wood legs are tapered to lighten the look, but are thick enough at the top to provide adequate joinery strength.

The artisanal production quality shows throughout this chair and takes the Scandinavian idea of furniture that lasts for generations seriously. The harmony of craftsmanship, the materials and the design makes this lounge chair ideal for any interior and style.
