This authentic pair of Bruno Mathsson for DUX "Karin" lounge chairs was purchased new in Europe in 1983 and has remained with one owner since. The chairs retain their original 100% Alcantara suede upholstery, original canvas slings, and polished chrome frames. Both original cushions retain the original DUX manufacturer's marking on the reverse, further confirming their authenticity. The chairs have never been restored, preserving their originality while displaying the honest wear expected of well-loved vintage pieces over more than 40 years.
The Karin lounge chair is one of Bruno Mathsson's most celebrated designs, admired for its sculptural chrome frame, suspended sling construction, and exceptional comfort. Produced by DUX in Sweden, it is considered an icon of Scandinavian Modern design and remains highly sought after by collectors worldwide.

The fabric exhibits overall discoloration, areas of wear, and age-related patina throughout, including a small worn spot on one seat cushion (shown in the photographs). The original polished chrome frames are well-preserved, bright, and show only minor, age-appropriate surface wear. The canvas slings remain structurally sound. One sling is missing a single original white grommet cap, which does not affect stability or function. Both cushions retain their original DUX manufacturer's markings on the reverse, as shown in the photos. Structurally, the chairs are solid, stable, and comfortable. These chairs have never been reupholstered or restored and are offered in their original vintage condition. They would appeal to collectors seeking authentic examples or buyers wishing to preserve the original upholstery or undertake a sympathetic restoration. less
