The classic Scandinavian armchair – tall, sleek, stylish. This particular example is Swedish in origin and dates from the sixties. Designed by Erik Wortz, this is the ‘Kolding’ armchair he created for IKEA. We should point out that at that time, IKEA wasn’t the mass-produced, flat-pack furniture giant that it is today. Founded from humble beginnings in 1943, it collaborated with a great many leading furniture designers to produce well-crafted, top quality pieces that are highly collectable and prized today, this chair included. This teak-framed piece is in quite remarkable order given its years including its deep brown upholstery. Style with other lounge seating or use as a stand-alone piece in a bedroom, reading snug or corner that requires something handsome and inviting.
