This chair comes with a complete new set of cushions in black leather.

The seating surface is made of canvas stretched to the frame made of of steam-bent beech.

In 1944 Mathsson created the first of what would later be called the Pernilla line of chairs. It was similar to the 1941 Miranda Chair, but here Mathsson discarded the waterfall-style front, instead having the chair terminate in the manner of a ramp. He also moved the sitter's centre of gravity lower to the ground.

The early chairs were produced Karl Mathsson AB in Värnamo, Sweden, Bruno Mathsson's father.

In the 1950s Mathsson had shifted away from furniture to focus on architecture, however in the 1960s he returned to the furniture, collaborating with Swedish manufacturer DUX, who was interested in bringing the Pernilla back.

The frame is stamped with the maker’s mark “Dux”.
