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.

This pair of spectacular armchairs by Swedish designer, Svante Skogh, is a rather rare example of the interior and furniture designer’s repertoire. With a creative and masterfully crafted wooden structure, these chairs deserve the limelight in Swedish design history.

These chairs combine function and aesthetic in a striking manner, keeping the form in service of the user while keeping it elegant and modern. The union of the shell-shaped body and the back legs’ structure define this model. While made of entirely different materials, their lines manage to resemble and complement each other, resulting in a harmonious appearance. The back legs not only support the bodies, but also rise to form the support for the armrests. The clear lined frame of this pair contrasts beautifully with the angled seating and gives the pair an open and very photographic appearance. The armrests’ black paint is a small, but ingenious detail, that highlights their form and create a focal point. Due to the well-chosen proportions, angled back, and the high-quality of the design, the chairs are very comfortable.

In Sweden, “svensk design” (Swedish design) in particular operates as a set of relations linking the everyday world - composed of objects, spaces, people - to the cultural ideologies that motivate the persistence of a social democratically infused “way of life.” Thanks to this sentiment, cabinetmakers, like Förenade Möbelfabrikerna, put an emphasis on soft elegance and functionality, making these chairs timeless in every sense of the word.

French mid-century seating frequently combined elements of regional craftsmanship with the cleaner lines associated with modernist furniture. Rush weaving, long used in traditional French chairs, remained present throughout the post-war period, particularly in pieces that favoured natural materials and visible construction over heavy upholstery. Rather than concealing how a chair was made, designs like this highlighted joinery, wood grain, and woven surfaces.

This pair of armchairs brings together that approach through a restrained oak frame and handwoven rush seats. The structure is built from slender uprights and gently tapering legs, giving the chairs a light visual presence despite their size and proportions. The tall backrests are composed of vertical slats that introduce rhythm to the silhouette while keeping the form open and airy. The armrests extend from the back before projecting forward in a clean horizontal line, reinforcing the architectural quality of the design. The woven rush seats introduce texture and warmth, contrasting with the smoother surfaces of the wood. The natural fibres soften the geometry of the frame while also emphasizing the craftsmanship involved in the construction.

Together, the chairs inspire a quiet elegance that comes from masterful craftsmanship. The combination of materials creates richness without excess, allowing the structure to remain the focal point. Their silhouettes feel grounded in traditional French furniture making, yet the simplicity of the lines ensures the qualities of mid-century modern design.

In an era marked by unprecedented cultural dynamism and bold artistic expression, the Art Deco movement emerged as a testament to modernity and sophistication. This period witnessed the creation of exquisite furniture pieces that epitomised the union of form and function, with this pair of armchairs standing out as a prime example.

These armchairs combine the disciplined geometry associated with early modernist seating with the material richness that remained central to Art Deco interiors. The exposed wooden frames feature a continuous linear structure around the chairs, bending outward into broad armrests before descending directly into the sled-style bases. That uninterrupted curve gives the silhouette a strong architectural quality while also softening the severity of the angular construction. The frames are executed in richly toned wood with pronounced grain patterns that become especially visible across the wide arm supports. In contrast, the seats and backrests are upholstered in black hide, introducing a heavily textured surface that changes subtly under light. The material gives the chairs a tactile depth, setting them apart from pieces with smoother upholstery. Thus, this quality creates a contrast between the polished wood and the textured, organic finish of the hide. The proportions emphasize horizontality and give the chairs a grounded presence within a room. Despite the bold construction, the open sides and visible negative space beneath the seats prevent the pieces from overwhelming a space.

The chairs carry a sculptural clarity that feels closely tied to the more architectural side of European Art Deco design. Their silhouettes rely less on ornament and more on the interaction between line, proportion, and material contrast, allowing the pieces to feel both restrained and visually commanding at the same time.

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 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.

As a pair, these armchairs stand as striking examples of European craftsmanship. The thoughtful design, from the choice of materials to the thoughtful details, ensures that these chairs are as much a work of art as they are functional seating, enhancing the comfort and aesthetic value of any space. As relics of a pivotal time in design history, they continue to inspire and captivate, embodying the enduring appeal of modernist and Art Deco principles.

The design philosophy of the 1970s in Germany was often focused on functionality and ergonomics, but with a playful twist. There was a tendency to mix and match styles and materials, resulting in eclectic pieces, like this pair of cross base lounge chairs. The designs were often modular and adaptable, catering to the dynamic lifestyles of the time.

German designers were influenced by the broader contemporary European trends, including the Danish and Italian modernist movements. There was also a strong influence from the avant-garde and the counterculture movements, which encouraged experimentation and the breaking of traditional design norms. The frames, crafted in solid wood, celebrate craftsmanship while maintaining a striking simplicity. The low, grounded stance gives the pieces a quiet strength, at the same time the broad seats invite relaxed, informal lounging. 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 functional elements, they reflect a postwar European ethos that embraced innovation while remaining deeply connected to craft and the human experience of comfort. Upholstered in an off-white fabric, the chairs pair a tactile, inviting surface with the clean lines of their timber base, achieving a compelling balance between warmth and restraint.

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

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.

Italian designer Giancarlo Piretti emerged as a leading figure in postwar furniture design, known for combining technical ingenuity with sculptural forms. As a longtime collaborator with Anonima Castelli, Piretti developed groundbreaking designs in the 1960s and 70s, many of which explored modularity and ergonomics. His works, such as the iconic “Plia” folding chair and “Plia” table, won multiple international design awards, and still find their home in museums word-wide - from Austria, to the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and the United States.

The “Alky” lounge chair - which debuted in 1970 - is among his most celebrated works and reflects the experimental spirit of the period, while maintaining a strong sense of comfort and approachability. The chairs showcase their signature curvilinear form, expertly upholstered in a soft off-white bouclé that enhances the chairs’ inviting charm. They are reminiscent of clouds, both through their flowy, plushy shape and soft fabric. The design features a continuous silhouette, from backrest to seat to base, all supported by a lightweight aluminium structure. The sled frames also rest on aluminium feet, ensuring the stability of the chairs. Their curved shape hugs the body and provides a comfortable sitting experience, further highlighting Piretti’s attention to ergonomics. The design is balanced, with the textile surfaces adding warmth, contrasting the modernist structure with a sense of softness.

These “Alky” chairs remain examples of 1970s Italian design and perfect illustrations of how form and function can harmonise effortlessly. Ideal as statement pieces in a living room, lounge, or studio, they offer timeless comfort and a sculptural presence that continues to resonate in contemporary interiors.

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.

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.
