Tall Vintage Norwegian Rykken Brown Leather Armchair
An immaculate, vintage, Norwegian bentwood lounge chair in red brown leather, most likely designed by Elsa & Nordahl Solheim for Rybo Rykken & Co. Dating from the 1970’s, this unusual design, playfully balances curves and angles to create a flowing, organic form. It’s a chair that’s striking from all sides. With its tall back, its soft, supple upholstery and a frame design that has added suspension, it offers much comfort for every day lounging.
Description
This is an original, used piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in excellent, vintage condition and has been well taken care of. We have lightly cleaned and polished the wood with a natural beeswax polish. Likewise, the joined cushions have been cleaned. The original leather upholstery is in very good order with plump inner foams, working zips and no specific marks. Vintage leather does wrinkle and show areas of wear, particularly at rub points, such as the seat seams, but this is very much the nature of the material and as we would expect. The finishing canvas and strapping underneath the main cushions are also in excellent order. The blond wood frame shows only the lightest signs of use with some very minor scuffs here and there. Sadly there is no longer a maker’s label attached but this design is well documented (indeed, we’ve sold many over the years) and we believe it to have been designed by Elsa and Nordahl Solheim for Rykken, Norway. Please refer to our photos for an accurate sense of its immaculate condition. We do have another of these chairs listed that’s exactly the same so they are a matching pair. If you were interested in both, do get in touch for a combined price.
