Characteristic features include the solid, turned beechwood frame, the visible leather straps, and the generously sized, loosely placed cushions, which give the chair its distinctive, relaxed silhouette.

This particular example is distinguished by its rare original corduroy upholstery, which beautifully underscores the design's warm, inviting character. The upholstery is in good original condition, exhibiting only slight, age-related fading and discoloration from light exposure, which emphasize its authentic vintage character. The beechwood frame is in excellent condition, as are the characteristic leather suspension and straps, which are completely intact and flawless. Together with the matching ottoman, it forms an exceptionally comfortable lounge ensemble that impressively unites Scandinavian design heritage, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance.

The Inca chair was manufactured by Norell Möbel AB in Sweden and remains one of the company's most sought-after models. Its ingenious construction principle, using tensioned leather straps, requires virtually no visible screws or fittings, underscoring the high level of craftsmanship for which Arne Norell is internationally renowned. Arne Norell (1917–1971) is considered one of the most important figures in Scandinavian furniture design. This piece has an attribution mark,
