Johansson & Söner in Hyssna, Sweden. The model is a prime example of Scandinavian design, prized for its clean lines, organic curves, and outstanding ergonomics.

The chairs have been comprehensively restored: the wooden frames have been refinished in an elegant ivory tone, while preserving their distinctive silhouette. The seats have been reupholstered in high-quality black velvet, creating a sophisticated contrast to the light wood and giving the set a modern, timeless aesthetic.

The defining feature of the "Tärnan" model is its single-line construction, seamlessly connecting the curved backrest and armrests, ensuring both exceptional comfort and a sleek appearance. The vertical struts of the gently curved backrest lend the design a sense of lightness, while the solid wood construction ensures stability and durability.

This restored set is an excellent choice for modern, Scandinavian, Japandi, or mid-century interiors and is ideal as a striking design element for upscale restaurants, design studios, and prestigious spaces. Features:
