Arnt Lande (attr.) Pair of Pine Armchairs by Møller & Stokke, Norway 1940s (sold)
Though their country has a long tradition of craftsmanship, for numerous reasons mid-century Norwegian designers never gained the same international renown as their peers in neighbouring nations. But as these gorgeous chairs show, when modernism reached the country, exceptional pieces were created.
Designers in the post-war period focused on simple, well-made pieces of homegrown woods such as walnut and pine. The pine frames of this pair are outstanding, both in visual and technical terms. The sculptural spindles are arranged symmetrically on all sides, forming the lower half of the backrest as well. They also give the chairs an airy, light look despite being made of solid wood. The armrests have beautiful curvature and follow the lines of the seat cushion, as they are both raised gently towards the front. The seats under the cushion showcase the impeccable dovetail joinery both in the front and in the back. The legs have two horizontal stretchers, while the tapered look matches the spindles to create the cohesive look of the design. The sheepskin upholstery makes sure that these chairs are very comfortable and cosy, in a true Scandinavian manner.
Arnt Lande worked for the furniture manufacturer Møller & Stokke from 1941 to 1943, and like many Norwegian designers, such as Fredrik A. Kayser, Torbjørn Afdal and Torbjørn Bekken, was on a roll in the 1940s. The focus on furniture design unfortunately shifted from the 1950s in Norway, but in the halcyon days of the 40s outstanding and unmistakeable designs, such as these chairs were produced.

About the designer:
Arnt Lande is known as Stokke's “Unknown star designer”. Arnt Lande (1920-2005) was a Norwegian furniture designer and interior designer. He was employed by the furniture manufacturer Stokke for 40 years and thus left a clear mark on the company's production.
Lande worked for Møller & Stokke in the period 1941 to 1943. From 1943 to 1947, he studied at the Wood Department at the State School of Crafts and Art Industry under architect Arne Korsmo. After his studies, Lande established his own factory in Lyngdal in 1947, but the following year, he got a job as a designer at Møller & Stokke. His first chair for the company was probably Haakon (1948), and two years later he came up with the salon furniture Kari. Lande eventually designed stuffed models, which were the company's speciality. Arnt Lande was soon given responsibility for most of the model development at Møller & Stokke, which from 1956 changed its name to Stokke Fabrikker.
Stokke realized more and more the benefits of rational production. Lande himself believed that the design of the models had to be adapted to the production apparatus, which in turn led to more sensible material utilization, larger series and cheaper prices for consumers.
Throughout the 1970s and 80s, Arnt Lande and Stokke's product development team designed armchairs with the older generation in mind. The solid Minuet came in 1972 and was in production for more than 20 years. In addition to working as a designer for Stokke, Arnt Lande was a drawing teacher at Borgund Vocational School, and he performed a number of interior assignments. ~H.

Italian Modern furniture is defined by unique design, perfect execution, and exclusivity. Modernist Italian designers’ language was always coherent with current times and congenial to the wisdom of furniture manufacturing, representing an outpost of strong innovation in the panorama of Italian craftsmanship.
This pair is focused on elegant and measured proportions, balanced compositions, and refined décor elements including the exclusive materials. The versatile shapes, from the rounded edges on the top to the square, unattached armrests and tapered legs make these chairs stand out. The V-shaped high backs are visually defining thanks to their sheer size and unusual shape. The enveloping backs become narrower towards the seat, like elegant, slim necks, with the sides flowing into the armrests, creating a structured, but still flowing angle and impression. The beautiful, richly textured bouclé fabric brings out the versatility of the shapes even further, and contrasts the solid wood legs as well. The backs are decorated with seven, yellow cross stitches arranged symmetrically, which further adds to the modern edge.
The 1960s’ Italy was especially passionate about furniture and product design, an area where the country remained faithful to a figurative repertoire of substantial classicism, while not disdaining impulses of authentic modernity. Similar designs are commonly attributed to Paolo Buffa, who - like many of his contemporaries - was extremely active in the Milanese design scene that was just as vibrant as these chairs. In an atmosphere committed to the reinterpretation of the Lombard classicism and Milanese architecture, exceptional pieces were created as this pair shows.

These side chairs originate from Europe in the 1960s, a period defined by a renewed appreciation for natural materials, functional craftsmanship, and honest construction. Mid-century European design moved away from excess ornamentation in favour of clarity, comfort, and durability. Oak furniture from this era reflects a balance between modernist restraint and timeless handcraft, highlighting structure and material.
This pair is crafted from solid wood, featuring softly rounded frames with gently curved arms and ladder-style backrests that emphasize both strength and comfort, while also showcasing gently carved contours. The warm tone of the wood highlights the natural grain, adding visual depth and character to the clean, architectural structure. The proportions are generous, offering an embracing seat. The slightly splayed legs and cross-stretchers provide stability. Moreover, the seats are upholstered in rich sheepskin, introducing a contrasting texture that softens the overall design and enhances comfort. The use of this material aligns the chairs with the decade’s interest in warmth, tactility, and elegance. The organic surface of the hide adds subtle textural and visual variation, making the pair feel like a focal point of any space. Together, the sturdy oak construction and plush upholstery create a pleasing dialogue between structure and softness.
With their combination of durable and inviting materials, these side chairs embody the relaxed refinement of European mid-century design. They function effortlessly as statement pieces while remaining practical for everyday use. Timeless in form and character, the pair offers an expression of 1960s craftsmanship that fits effortlessly into both modern and classic interiors.

In 1930s Scandinavia, Art Deco took on a quieter, more grounded character in comparison to its popular French or American counterparts. While the movement is often associated with glamour and sharp geometry, Scandinavian interpretations leaned toward softer forms, solid craftsmanship, and comfort suited to everyday life, while maintaining the magnetic elegance of the movement. This process resulted in furniture that feels confident and modern without being flashy.
These armchairs reflect that balance, combining the streamlined look of the period with a clear concern for warmth, proportion, and functionality. The design of this pair is defined by generous, rounded volumes and a grounded stance that emanates comfort. The wide, curved armrests flow seamlessly alongside the bodies of the chairs, creating an enveloping form that feels protective and inviting. The upholstery enhances this effect, adding visual softness and tactile depth while emphasizing the sculptural silhouette. The backs are gently angled, offering proper support while maintaining a sleek profile that does not overwhelm a space. Beneath the body, short wooden feet subtly lift the chairs and ensure stability. The proportions are carefully judged so the chairs feel substantial without appearing heavy. The design avoids excess ornament, allowing shape, volume, and material to do the work.
This pair offers comfort while retaining a distinctive Art Deco that sets apart furniture from this era. Their sculptural quality makes them visually engaging, while also being able to blend easily with both vintage and contemporary interiors. These armchairs are a strong example of how Norwegian Art Deco furniture combines function, form, and lasting appeal in a way that still feels relevant today.

This rare pair of “Pele” lounge chairs by Finnish designer Esko Pajamies is, without a doubt, his most stunning chair design. It is seldom we see a chair model and immediately recognise it, but Pajamies managed to design such a piece. His unconventional design was strongly characterised by durability and functionality as well as insightful technical solutions.
In Finland, the 1970s saw the use of new materials like plastic, synthetics, and fibreglass being combined with advances in manufacturing technologies, allowing designers to expand their range of colours and forms in mass production. However, this lounge chair model still gives preference to natural materials, primarily to its solid oak structure. The wooden frame provides a firm base with rounded edges. Undeniably, the most eye-catching and distinctive element of this design is the way in which the seat and the back legs of the armchairs are formed by one elongated piece of wood. The ergonomic design with the bent backrest, wide armrests, and upholstered cushions make this pair of lounge chairs exceptionally comfortable. It therefore comes as no surprise, that this model first gained popularity as a TV chair for homes. Later it became a popular choice for fireplace rooms as well as public spaces, similarly to several other designs of Pajamies.
This model was manufactured by the Finnish furniture company, Lahden Lepokalusto Oy in the 1970s. The Lahti-based company has been furnishing public spaces for almost 70 years, and gained worldwide recognition through the iconic furniture designs of Professor Yrjö Kukkapuro and later, Esko Pajamies.

These "Berga" chairs by David Rosén for Nordiska Kompaniet reflect the refined elegance and functional clarity that defined Scandinavian modernism. As a prominent figure in Swedish furniture design, Rosén worked extensively with Nordiska Kompaniet, one of the country’s most influential department stores and producers, creating furniture pieces that embodied the ideals of quality craftsmanship, restrained form, and comfort.
This pair of chairs exude a lovely charm and robust aesthetic that is characteristic of the era. In 20th century design, the use of wood held a special significance; it was not merely a material choice, but a philosophy that emphasised the natural and organic over the ornate and extravagant. Moreover, in a rather distinctive way, softness and tradition merge in these armchairs. While it is elemental thanks to the solid stained pine and interesting construction, the roundness and elegantly sculpted form still provide a sense of gentleness. Pine was a popular choice of wood in Swedish furniture design during the early-to-mid 20th century. Axel Einar Hjorth was another prominent figure who extensively worked with pine, he was also the head of Nordiska Kompaniet during the time of Rosén’s tenure. Hjorth greatly contributed to the burgeoning Swedish design culture, in which these influences are seen in this pair of chairs.
The Swedish company Nordiska Kompaniet manufactured this pair of chairs with utmost care for its quality and design. The company was among the most renowned Swedish lighting manufacturers during the mid-century era, working with some of the most well-known Scandinavian designers - and this "Berga" model is a prime example of the great success these collaborations resulted in.

“Danish Modern” is a recognized term around the world, standing for the characteristic style of Danish design created during the 20th century. As these lounge chairs show, furniture created in this period are characterized by clarity in design, and extremely high-quality craftsmanship and choice of materials.
This pair of lounge chairs exudes quality and personality from all angles. Their classic shape is formed by the generous seat and embracing back. The large, curved backrests feature tufted buttons and follow the curve of the voluptuous seats, creating an inviting and open look which is a signature characteristic of Danish Modernism. The tufting stitches are festooned with thirteen, symmetrically arranged buttons on each chair, that sink into the soft upholstery. The tapered, lacquered wood legs prevent the chairs from looking heavy by slightly lifting them off the ground, while their warm brown colour nicely contrasts the soft, light colour of the bodies. The back legs are splayed to provide structural support to the chairs.
Thanks to the sheepskin, the chairs give a natural, textured look, making them ideal to blend a stroke of modernity to any space, with a nod to organic, simple artistry. Sheepskin is the ultimate material for comfort, warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The artisanal production quality is evident throughout this pair and takes the Danish idea of “furniture that last for generations” seriously.

About the Designer:
The practical and comfortable designs of Danish cabinetmakers defined mid-20th century modern seating. The Danish Cabinetmakers focused on minimalist design executed by expertly skilled craftsmen.
Works from the Danish Cabinet-Makers' Guild is a concept of its own in collectible design. The Cabinet-Makers' Guild began annual exhibitions in 1927 in Copenhagen. The group formed an exhibit showing each year in October the quality furniture made to drawings by gifted architects. The exhibition took place each year, without interruption, for forty years. A number of successful Danish Design collaborations were formed during this time between cabinetmakers and architects.
Danish Modernism has influenced Scandinavian furniture to a great degree, defined by minimalism, simplicity, and functionality. The muted colours and gentle designs make Danish mid-century furniture an ideal addition to contemporary living spaces. Additionally, master cabinetmakers were highly aware of body proportions, prioritizing comfort just as much as the visual qualities.
The works of master cabinetmakers – such as this chair – are of the highest quality, both in terms of materials and craftsmanship. Cabinetmakers take the art of working with wood one step further, and focus on the finer details of what can be created with the material. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that numerous master cabinetmakers are part of the renowned Danish Culture Canon (Danish: Kulturkanonen). The canon contains no more than 108 works of cultural excellence, based on works with a useful function and that are still recognizable today. This small armchair is the perfect illustration of Danish design, and the work of a true cabinetmaker. ~H.

The “Laila” model by the Finnish designer Ilmari Lappalainen originates from 1948, with the earliest original drawings kept in the Lahti City Museum in their Lappalainen Collection.
This pair of “nr. 238” armchairs are from the Finnish designer’s most famous series called “Laila”. The design became sought after by collectors even in its production time, which is quite rare in the case of Nordic mid-century modern furniture. Lappalainen was a renowned designer, famous for his designs’ comfort. Some of his designs even received medical approval because they had such a good seating that it prevented back problems. These armchairs have a cosy modern style, modelled on the Swedish and Danish furniture of the time, including the round edges and generous seat cushion and back with tufted buttons. The bodies have the classic Nordic look, which explains the contemporary popularity of these armchairs both among the public and museums. The modern aesthetic is further elevated by the textured, premium upholstery that complements the shape and the wooden, tapered legs as well. Sheepskin 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.
Wood is omnipresent in the Nordics, and Finnish woodworking is world-famous for its traditions. These chairs were created for Asko, the Finnish furniture manufacturing company founded in 1918 by Aukusti Asko Avonius, known for the production of high-quality furniture. By 1930 the company had developed into the largest furniture chain in Finland and the largest supplier of furniture in the Scandinavian countries. After the war, the damage it caused and the new homes of Karelian migrants concentrated production on essential furniture, which the Finnish Ministry of Public Affairs ordered to sell at an affordable price. Favourites of this time included Ilmari Lappalainen’s Laila series.

About the Designer:
Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist was born on May 30, 1925 in Arvika, Sweden. She was a Swedish modernist architect and designer. Hörlin-Holmquist graduated from Stockholm’s Konstfack in 1952, and before that she studied and worked in England.
She often worked with her husband Erik Holmquist, and together they modelled and created the pieces together. A key aspect for the couple was always to test their designs in their own home before completing a project.
"I think both furniture and textiles, wherever they end up, must be kind, gentle and courteous, but without losing their character. They should have human qualities, not be pompous and only stand alone, but be able to adapt to the environment they end up in..."
Hörlin-Holmquist worked and studied in England from 1946-1947 immediately after the war, where she also studied art history and became fascinated with the classic English upholstered furniture and style. Something that without a doubt inspired her own creations later in life while she still developed her own expression. She returned to Sweden where she attended Konstfack from 1948 and graduated from the school in 1952. She started working with Nordiska Kompaniet shortly after her graduation and became a lead designer. Her timeless and iconic ‘Paradiset Collection’ was created during her employment with Nordiska Kompaniet in 1956-1957 and holds a soft simplicity and a uniqueness in its appearance - light, clean lines and yet gracious with an air of romance.
Today, her designs are highly treasured collectibles. She is primarily remembered, for her ability to create designs for the modern home in the 1950s without worrying about short-lived trends and what other people thought - to stay true to her own unique and humanistic design vision.

These rocking chairs, born from the era's penchant for Brutalist design, manage to strike an intriguing balance between the rugged and the refined. The 1970s marked a distinctive period in design, and the Brutalist movement, characterised by its raw, unapologetic use of materials, left an indelible mark on furniture.
These rocking chairs embody the spirit of Brutalism, boasting a robust pine wood construction that conveys a sense of strength and durability. Yet, in a departure from the harsh edges often associated with Brutalist design, these chairs surprise with soft, flowing lines that gently cradle the sitter. Pine wood, the choice of material for this pair, brings its own set of advantages: renowned for its resilience, pine became a canvas for many 20th century designers to showcase the marriage of strength and grace. The natural grain of the wood, visible through a subtle finish, adds depth to the chairs, embracing the imperfections that come with time, like a visual memoir of shared moments. The essence of these rocking chairs lies not just in their design, but also in the experience they offer. Rocking chairs, with their rhythmic motion, invite contemplation and relaxation. They transform a simple seat into a haven, a place to unwind and reflect. The designer clearly understood the timeless allure of a rocking chair, choosing to augment the utilitarian aspect of seating with an inherent connection to human comfort. The upholstered seats and back cushions provide great comfort, and also a gentle contrast to the starkness of the pine wood. These cushions, rather than diminishing the Brutalist appearance, accentuate it. Softness meets strength, and the result is a tactile experience that harmonises the senses. The light, textural upholstery, carefully selected for its texture and neutrality, introduces a touch of luxury without compromising the chair's integrity.
These rocking chairs stand as visual illustrations of the era's exploration of contradictions. They are both bold and welcoming, robust and refined. This design, pairing of materials, and sheer quality make them truly special accent pieces.

The mid-20th century marked a golden era for interior design, amidst a booming economy and a newfound sense of optimism. Designers sought to create furniture that felt both modern and human, moving away from the stark metal and glass of the machine age toward objects that could bring warmth and comfort to domestic life.
This cultural moment celebrated furniture not just as a utilitarian object, but as a meaningful presence in the home. This pair of lounge chairs is a striking embodiment of that philosophy. Each chair features a solid wood frame with strong, sculptural lines. The X-shaped side-supports lend both structural stability and visual lightness, while highlighting the craftsmanship of this pair. Not only this, but the precise joinery and the gently splayed back legs which transition seamlessly into the armrests give the chairs a sense of balance and quiet confidence. Their seats and backs are upholstered in thick, natural sheepskin, a material prized for its softness, warmth, and inviting tactile quality. The creamy, textural surface of the upholstery contrasts beautifully with the robust wooden frame, highlighting the inherent character of both materials. They show how mid century designers achieved harmony between simplicity and luxury, function and expression.
Together, these chairs offer more than just a place to sit; they express the postwar European shift toward modern living. With their natural materials and inviting form, they feel as relevant and desirable today as when they were first made, all while reflecting an ideal blend of sculptural beauty, masterful craftsmanship, and timeless comfort.

Art Deco was an era-defining movement in furniture design. During its heyday, it represented luxury, glamour, exuberance and faith in social and technological progress. European furniture designers’ artistic approach was anchored by refinement, expressed through graceful forms and traditional methods. The mix of boldness and richness became central to European Art Deco interiors, where furniture was expected to contribute atmosphere as much as function.
These chairs illustrate the bold aesthetic of the first half of the 20th century. Art Deco designers and cabinetmakers coupled geometry and craftsmanship to create elegantly impressive pieces like this pair. The construction of this stunning pair features high-quality materials, from the wooden frame to the soft upholstery. The frames are defined by the sweeping and sleek arms that curve outward and downward in a flowing motion. Their striking appearance is the result of the brilliant pairing of materials; the solid wood structures’ polished lines stand out against the textural, organic sheepskin while also accentuating the individuality of the upholstery. The long-haired fabric gives the chairs an almost organic appearance while emphasizing comfort and warmth.
