Set of six chairs designed by Yngve Ekström, manufactured in Sweden in the 1960s by Gemla. The solid wood frame is defined by clean lines and balanced proportions, with slightly arched uprights and a backrest with horizontal crosspieces that lend rhythm and lightness to the overall effect. The seat is made of woven leather, a solution that combines solidity and flexibility, introducing a more pronounced materiality to the clean structure. The contrast between the warm tone of the wood and the black of the leather reinforces the graphic character of the piece.
The overall effect reflects a functional and measured approach, typical of Scandinavian production of the period, where construction and materials define the aesthetic without superfluous elements.
