An elegant pair of Swedish lounge chairs attributed to Carl Malmsten, dating from the 1940s.

The chairs reflect Malmsten’s characteristic approach to furniture design, combining generous comfort with soft, restrained proportions. The gently curved backs, rounded upholstered armrests and tapered wooden legs create a warm and distinctly Scandinavian silhouette.

Rather than relying on strict geometry, the design is shaped through subtle curves and carefully balanced proportions. Button detailing across the backrests adds a quiet decorative element, while the contrasting piping follows the contours of the chairs and emphasizes their sculptural form.

The warm wooden legs provide a natural contrast to the muted green upholstery and give the substantial upholstered bodies a lighter visual appearance.

A refined example of Swedish Modern design, combining traditional craftsmanship, functionality and an understated elegance associated with Swedish interiors of the mid-20th century. This piece has an attribution mark,
