Made by renowned Norwegian manufacturer, Ekornes, likely in the early 1980s, this super pair will add excellent quality, outstanding comfort and an ultra-cool and super-smart Mid Century aesthetic to any interior.

The Ekornes ‘Stressless’ range has become a much sought-after design classic featuring a unique glide system that follows your bodies movement for the perfect relaxed position. This super-stylish lounge chair features both swivel and Stressless reclining mechanisms, which along with the large bucket seat, tall and broad wrap-around back and matching footstool, ensure the ultimate relaxing feet-up experience.

Reassuringly heavy and impressively sized, both chair and footstool are extremely well padded and finished in excellent quality stitched black leather. The streamlined Scandinavian design features a stylish A-Line shape to the chair’s back – strikingly cool and not too dissimilar from the Darth Vader mask, we think! This classy pair are set on sleek, minimalist, curving steel bases finished in jet-black coating, completing the super-cool monochrome palette, and giving a crisp, ergonomic look.

All in all this is a super-stylish and ultra-comfortable lounge set, which won’t fail to impress and will add an achingly cool Mid Century aesthetic to any setting.

CONDITION
This armchair and ottoman are in very good vintage condition. Solid, sturdy, structurally sound and expertly crafted, they have only the most minor to-be-expected marks and wear to show their age, including minor losses to the black base coating and some ageing and a small hole to the creasing on the right seat edge. The leather has been treated to keep it rejuvenated and looking it's best. Overall it’s a rare and eye-catchingly attractive lounge set in lovely vintage condition and if well looked after it should be just as attractive for generations to come – please see the photos.
