That’s exactly what this armchair, designed by Arnold Madsen & Henry Schubell, is! In the 1960s, an extremely modern range of high-quality designer furniture was created for the Bovenkamp company. This was done in the Scandinavian style, which was very modern at the time and could even be called avant-garde. This series also included a ladies’ armchair with a low backrest and a sofa set; we are currently offering a men’s armchair with a high backrest, an extremely rare piece. This quintessential mid-century seating piece offers unparalleled comfort and, thanks to its armrests, provides a sense of “security” without feeling confining. Its elegant frame with organic shapes contrasts beautifully with the green upholstery—a true design classic for your interior! The version currently offered for sale features a distinctive light-colored oak frame, which is beautifully crafted. This series of furniture is often cited by enthusiasts and connoisseurs as an absolute highlight of Mid-Century Design. This chair is in mint condition—or even better than mint—and has been fully restored with an eye for detail and craftsmanship. The fabric, which you can read more about below, has been applied with the utmost precision and boasts an exceptionally beautiful color. Only the finest craftsmen and materials were selected for the restoration; only then can you truly do justice to the origins and designer of a design classic like this piece of furniture. We can confidently guarantee that this chair will provide enjoyment for many decades to come and is currently the finest example available on the international market.
