This pair of armchairs is rooted in the European Art Deco movement. It was a period defined by confidence, structure, and a belief in modern luxury. Art Deco design emerged between the wars as a response to earlier ornament-heavy styles, favouring clarity of form, strong geometry, and refined materials. Furniture from this era often balanced comfort with a distinctly architectural presence, drawing inspiration from both classical proportion and the clean lines of modern industry. This chair reflects that mindset perfectly, presenting a strong and confident silhouette that feels intentional rather than decorative.

The form of the pair is solid and grounded, built within a strong wooden frame that gives the piece its architectural weight. The arms are outlined by smooth and sharply defined wood, creating a sense of enclosure that feels both protective and confident, while the backrests soften the geometry and add comfort. The rich beige colour of the upholstery highlights the chairs’ sophistication, and the minimal, carved legs in dark wood give the model a grounded feel that contrasts beautifully with the softness of the upholstery. The clean lines and geometric proportions balance the luxurious, soft texture of the fabric with the sturdiness of the frame, creating an object that is both sculptural and functional. This pair of armchairs exudes the confident yet refined impression typical of the Art Deco style.

Perfect for those looking to add some vintage glamour to a space, these pieces will bring timeless allure to any room. The design offers a perfect blend of style and comfort, which will endure through the ages while exemplifying Art Deco craftsmanship.

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 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 cushions and back with five 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 soft sheepskin upholstery that complements the shape and the wooden, tapered legs as well.

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. Favourites of this time included Ilmari Lappalainen’s present Laila armchairs.

During its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance and faith in social and technological progress. The movement peaked in popularity around the 1930s, spreading across Europe and the United States up to the start of World War II. Art Deco designs featured rare, expensive, innovative materials and exquisite craftsmanship.

In line with the Art Deco movement during which they were created, these chairs illustrate the bold, rich and luxurious aesthetic of the era. Before giving way to mid-century modernism and its focus on function over form, Art Deco pieces coupled geometry and craftsmanship to arrive at elegantly impressive additions to interiors. This pair of armchairs live up to their rich history through their strikingly geometric form. Both the backs and the armrests introduce clear angles and wooden elements with multiple edges. The chairs feature back and seat cushions, upholstered in a soft deep green fabric that draws in the eye, bringing a warmth and an earthy richness that pairs beautifully with the beech frames. The armrests are stripped down to their wooden structure, with a tapering element further highlighting the sculptural quality of the model. The short legs, with their carved ridges, balance out the voluptuous bodies, while flowing effortlessly as a continuation of the armrests to ensure the stability of the armchairs.

Created during an age of innovation - from materials, to shapes and techniques - these chairs showcase that the European furniture designers’ artistic approach was anchored in the Art Deco movement. Through their form and quality craftsmanship, this pair of armchairs makes for the perfect stylish touch of warmth and charm.

The “Stora Eva” chair model is from the timeless and iconic Paradiset Collection from the Triva Series, which was created in the 1950s by Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist during her time at Nordiska Kompaniet. Hörlin-Holmquist had a unique and humanistic design vision, and because of her uncompromising attitude, she became one of Sweden’s most renowned mid-century furniture designers.

Hörlin-Holmquist once remarked "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” and these armchairs are an elegant example of that sentiment. Characterised by the best qualities of mid-century design, these chairs can be incorporated into both contemporary and traditional interiors, lending itself to a timeless, universal appeal. The elegant lines and shape of the backrest create a striking silhouette. The tufted buttons on the backrest serve as the only form of ornamentation, and add to the visual richness of the model. The soft white upholstery is complemented by the tapered stained wood legs. Tilted in the back, the slim legs have a classically modern look. The "Stora Eva" model expresses a particular feeling of warmth and comfort with its friendly and rounded form. Standing at the intersection of form and function, this is a timeless model that will never go out of style.

The craftsmanship displayed in these armchairs are a testament to the high standards of Swedish design in the mid 20th century, reflecting the technical skill and artistic vision of both Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist and Nordiska Kompaniet.

Art Deco seating from the first half of the 20th century moved toward softer and more streamlined forms, rather than relying on heavy ornament. Designers focused on curved silhouettes and volume, creating furniture that fulfilled functional roles. Low armchairs became especially popular in domestic interiors, where comfort and visual softness were balanced with the elegance of the period.

This pair of armchairs embodies that transition through rounded, enveloping bodies and restrained detailing. The broad curved armrests flow directly into the lower structures, creating unified silhouettes with little interruption between elements. Unlike more rigid geometric seating, the forms feel continuous yet strong, with the upholstery enveloping the frames to emphasize the smoothness of the contours. The sand-coloured fabric reinforces the shape, giving the chairs a warm and understated presence while allowing light to move gently across the curved surfaces. The backrests are slightly reclined and contribute to a relaxed posture, while the generously proportioned seats add to the sense of comfort. Small wooden feet remain mostly concealed beneath the bodies, subtly lifting the chairs from the floor without distracting from their compact volumes.

What makes this pair particularly appealing is the combination of visual weight and softness. The chairs feel grounded without looking rigid. They function less as architectural objects and more as carefully shaped upholstered forms, designed with attention to comfort that suits a range of interior styles.

This pair of “Polar” lounge chairs was designed by the eminent Finnish designer, Esko Pajamies, and produced by Lahden Lepokalusto Oy Finland during the 1960s.

These leather chairs feature a half moon shaped backrest and comfortable, aesthetically pleasing cushions. The sitting cushions are tufted, and along with the upholstered armrests, have a beautiful patina. The strong and sturdy wooden frame provides a beautiful contrast to the black leather, and with the chrome plated steel connections supporting the curved armrests, it gives these chairs a modern look.

The legs have similar chrome plated steel details, which provide the chairs with an almost floating appearance. The open wooden frame further contributes to the spacious feel of the design. The chairs have their original black leather upholstery.

These chairs are exemplary of the main ideals of mid-century modernism, characterised by clean, simple lines, honest use of materials, and a lack of unnecessary decorative embellishments. Instead, the focus is on craftsmanship and clever design.

With a clear preoccupation with geometry, the chairs’ outstanding architectural frames recall the mastery of European designers, particularly Ib Kofod Larsen. The clearly lined frames contrast beautifully with the angled seating and give the pieces an open and light appearance. The backseat of this model is supported by the elongated back legs, creating a unique look. While the refined linearity defines the overall aesthetic, functionality was clearly an important aspect of the design. Due to the well-chosen proportions and upholstered body, the chairs offer great comfort. The lines of the model are crisp and elegant, with the seat and backrest creating an angle that aids the chairs’ stability, comfort and ergonomic design.

While the second half of the 20th century saw the takeover of mass production and many - now iconic - futuristic designs, these chairs preserve the value and beauty of master craftsmanship and exquisite materials. Countering the often quite vivid colours and designs of the era, the beautiful dark wooden frame is paired with light, premium upholstery.

Art Deco seating in Europe often relied on a careful interplay between structure and comfort, where strong architectural frames were softened through upholstery. In the first half of 20th century, this approach had evolved into a more restrained language, retaining the geometry of earlier designs while reducing ornament to its essentials. Oak became a preferred material for many manufacturers, valued for its durability and its ability to hold crisp, angular profiles.

Within this context, this pair of armchairs was designed to balance visual clarity with everyday comfort. They display a clearly defined wooden frame with neatly integrated upholstery. The oak structures form an outline, with straight legs extending upward into the armrests and back supports. The geometry is precise, with sharp transitions and flat planes giving the chairs a distinctly architectural presence. The armrests project forward in a clean horizontal line, reinforcing the overall strength of the frame while also providing a functional quality. In contrast, the upholstered seat and back panels introduce softness, both visually and physically. The fabric has a subtle texture and a warm tone that complements the wood, creating a cohesive piece. The proportions are compact yet solid, allowing the chairs a grounded feel while maintaining a sense of openness through the sides.

What defines these chairs is their clarity of construction. The design speaks through its structure, with the upholstery acting as a complementary layer rather than the focal point of the pieces. This makes the pair particularly versatile, as they can anchor a space through their form while still adapting to different interiors.

The postwar boom years of the 1950s through to the 1960s were one of the periods of greatest influence of Italian designers. Design in the 60s paved a way to a more aesthetical approach to products as opposed to its utilitarian predecessors, resulting in exceptional pieces like these armchairs.

In the 1960s, together with Gavina, Ignazio Gardella created these innovative "Digamma" armchairs. This model is versatile and functional with a strong personality, characteristic of Italian modern design. There are several features that show different style elements starting with the fully upholstered, sculptural body and tapered metal legs. With the outward pointing armrests and the dynamic lines of the seating, the chairs combine modern forms and ideals to obtain a timeless, impressive piece of furniture. Furthermore, the burnt orange mohair fabric adds a rich and luxurious look and feel, with the deep, warm hue of the upholstery creating a sense of opulence, making it an ideal choice for an eye-catching interior. The mohair’s tone enhances the sculptural qualities of the form, contrasting the crisp, linear frame with a plush, inviting surface. On the decoration front, the chairs aren’t in need of much thanks to the brilliance of the design itself, therefore the sole decorative element is the subtle rouching of the armrests on each chair.

The design was created in the golden days of Italian mid-century modernism, when Italian design giants like Gio Ponti and Paolo Buffa worked as well. With an outstanding design, quality materials and Italian design elements, this pair is sure to provide comfort and style in any interior.

These “Lilla Eva” models are from the timeless and iconic Paradise Collection, which was created by Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist during her time as a designer at Nordiska Kompaniet. The name is inspired by “Paradiset” – the Swedish name for Eden.

This pair holds a soft simplicity and a uniqueness in its appearance - light, clean lines with an air of romance. Without worrying about short-lived trends and what other people thought, Hörlin-Holmquist created the peculiar shape of these chairs that is only increasing in popularity. Thanks to her unique vision, these chairs have an unmistakeable backrest that flows down to form the armrests. While the armrests sit low, therefore opening the seats, the chairs still give the impression of hugging the sitter. The upholstered bodies elevate the visual comfort, with tufted backrests that are festooned with nine, symmetrically arranged buttons.

The upholstery is a premium fabric with a soft touch that complements the aesthetic of Hörlin-Holmquist’s design. Similarly, the stained and tapered wood legs pair perfectly with the sculptural and organic form of the bodies. Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist had a unique and humanistic design vision, and thanks to her uncompromising attitude, these “Little Eva” easy chairs have become iconic.

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..."

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.

During the mid-20th century, European designers turned their attention to rethinking domestic comfort, and explored how new ideas of form and proportion could transform the experience of sitting and living. Moving away from traditional ornament and into a culture of experimentation, they began focusing on honest materials, balanced lines, and structure. This was a period when modernism evolved into a human-centered vision of modern living.

This pair of lounge chairs captures that spirit with its thoughtful interplay of geometry and tactility. The frames, crafted in solid wood with box joinery, celebrate craftsmanship while maintaining a striking simplicity. The low, grounded stance gives the pieces a quiet strength, while the broad seats invite relaxed, informal lounging. To complement the solid frame, the backrests feature a circular cushion, an unexpected sculptural element that softens the chairs’ rectilinear frames and adds visual interest without unnecessary embellishment. Upholstered in a beautiful striped fabric the chairs pair a tactile, inviting surface with the clean lines of their timber base, achieving a compelling balance between warmth and restraint. The traditional joinery details are left visible, underscoring the mid-century belief in structural honesty and the inherent beauty of well-made construction.

As a pair, the chairs are both understated and iconic, a reminder that modern design is not about excess, but about clarity and intention. More than just a functional pair, they reflect a postwar European ethos that embraced innovation while remaining deeply connected to craft and the human experience of comfort.
