Swedish Upholstered Art Deco Lounge Chairs, Sweden ca 1930s (sold)
"There is no style like art deco that embraces both the figurative and the abstract, the feminine and the masculine, the monumenta, the stringent and the opulent, the functional and the unnecessary. Art deco is a seducer who, with his cool language, will generously enrich our lives with beauty".
This timeless pair of Swedish Art Deco lounge chairs has a beautiful, almost sculptural form that evokes the high-end craftsmanship of the movement that’s steeped in old-school luxury and glamour. Art Deco was characterized by sleekness, opulence, and geometry, often prioritizing rich colours and luxe fabrics. These characteristics are also seen here, especially in the unique arms. Each chair features a reclined rectangular back over a deep seat along with elegantly curved armrests. The short oak legs allow the wide and long seats to stand out, enhancing the lounging experience. The thick seat cushions and gently bent backs further contribute to the comfort and cosiness. Still, the arms are in the focus of the design, with a highly distinctive shape and form in the front. The dark-toned upholstery complements the structure’s individuality.
Inspired by the Swedish ‘’Funkis design” or Functionalist style developed in the early 20th century, these chairs illustrate the perfect alliance of geometry and function combined with the luxurious look and materials of Art Deco. Resting on tapered, square front legs and slightly splayed hind legs, this pair of Swedish lounge chairs exudes the sophistication and opulence of the Art Deco style. They are sure to become the focal point of any space.
