Crafted in solid elm, the chair’s sculptural form and understated expression reflect an important moment in Scandinavian Modern design, bridging traditional craftsmanship and early Functionalist sensibilities. The sculpted wooden frame, characterised by gently curved armrests and a visually engaging open spindle structure, conveys both stability and refined elegance. The warm tones of the elm complement the deep, soft texture of the lambswool seat, making this singular seating piece both visually striking and exceptionally comfortable. This beautiful armchair will complement many interior styles. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
