A striking example of Scandinavian Space Age design, this piece is constructed entirely from molded foam, giving it its soft, organic silhouette and remarkable comfort.

The chair’s flowing lines and low, sculptural form reflect the futuristic aesthetics of the era, while the vibrant orange upholstery adds a bold, playful character typical of 1970s interiors. Horizontal stitched channels accentuate its curves and emphasize the dynamic, wave-like shape.

Practical in design, the chair is set on discreet casters for easy mobility. There are visible stains on the backrest, consistent with age and use, which do not detract from its sculptural presence or collectible appeal.

A rare and iconic piece that embodies the optimism and experimental spirit of 1970s Swedish furniture design. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
