These chairs beautifully reflect the light, functional, and human-centered approach that defines Scandinavian modern design of the post-war period. The silhouette is delicate yet architectural, with softly tapered legs, a sculptural backrest, and a warm wooden seat that adds contrast and character. A particularly charming and rare feature of this model is the clever “click” system that allows the seats to be loosened, making the chairs stackable. This practical detail highlights Ekström’s innovative thinking and his focus on flexible, everyday living without compromising on aesthetics. The chairs are in good vintage condition, with visible signs of age and use that contribute to their authentic patina and charm.

Dimensions per chair: Width: 42 cm Depth: 42 cm Height: 68.5 cm Seat height: 44 cm A beautiful and functional pair for a dining space, desk, or design-focused interior, and a great example of early Scandinavian modern craftsmanship.
