Crafted in solid teak, this piece features elegant, sculptural lines and a distinctive slatted backrest, reflecting the refined simplicity of mid-century Nordic design. The warm teak frame has developed a natural patina over time. The chair retains its original red corduroy cushions, which show wear and creasing consistent with age. The overall structure and proportions remain excellent, making this an ideal candidate for restoration.
Condition: The upholstery shows significant wear and is recommended for replacement. The seat webbing has been redone and is currently functional, though it may benefit from further refinement. The cushions remain intact with no major tears, but exhibit visible creasing. The teak frame is structurally sound, displaying only minor surface wear consistent with age and use.
