An iconic and timeless armchair, the "Farmor" (Grandmother) model, designed by Carl Malmsten in the 1950s and produced by O.H. Sjögren in Sweden. This piece is among Malmsten’s most beloved seating designs, celebrated for its graceful curves, enveloping comfort, and Nordic elegance. with its high backrest, featuring a delicate crown-like detail, and its solid pine frame, this armchair embodies a sense of warmth, refinement, and homeliness—a design philosophy deeply rooted in Malmsten’s work. The small matching head cushion, secured by dark brown leather straps, enhances both comfort and sophistication. This particular piece has been newly reupholstered in luxurious grey lambswool, a material that not only provides exceptional softness but also complements the chair’s sculptural form, making it an exquisite addition to any living space or bedroom. A highly collectible Scandinavian design classic, offering timeless charm, superior craftsmanship, and a deep sense of coziness. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
