Swedish armchair, model "z," from the 1960s, with a dark lacquered geometric frame and black velvet upholstery.
the model "z" armchair, designed by bengt ruda for nordiska kompaniet in the 1960s, is an emblematic example of the most rigorous scandinavian modernism. The lateral structure, which forms a sharp, broken line to form a "z," defines the entire identity of the design: a strong, almost architectural, graphic sign that supports the seat and backrest in dynamic balance. The sloping profile accentuates a relaxed posture, while the integrated armrests flow seamlessly into the supporting structure, emphasizing the piece's formal unity. Bengt ruda, a key figure in postwar swedish design and longtime creative director of nordiska kompaniet, developed a research oriented toward clear structural forms and legible construction solutions. The "z" fits perfectly into this production, where geometry becomes an expressive language and function translates into formal synthesis. Good condition. May show signs of aging. Please pay close attention to the photographs. This piece has an attribution mark,
