Vintage Danish 1970s Leather Lounge Chair by Gehl & Nissen for Jeki Mobler

A statement lounge chair that’s low, laidback and masculine, it originates from 1970’s Denmark, designed by Ebbe Gehl and Søren Nissen for renowned maker, Jeki Mobler Bramming. The chunky, tubular, modernist frame in stained solid beech looks grand with the deep chocolate brown leather that’s so dark it looks black at first glance. And comfort is as important as the good looks here. From the tilt (which can be adjusted) to the contoured suede back to the plump cushions to the generous proportions, this is an indulgent seat for someone who tales relaxing seriously. It’s rare to find a chair like this in such good condition – just light signs of wear and tear adding to its aged, vintage appeal in our view.

Description

This original, vintage chair is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good – very good, used condition. We have given the chair a thorough clean, applying a natural beeswax polish to the wooden frame and nourishing leather cleaner and balm to the cushion. It is comprised of a single, three-part sectioned cushion, moored in place with Velcro at the top and poppers in the bottom back. The Velcro has lost its ‘stick’ a little but this has no bearing on the chair or cushion – the cushion stays firmly in position regardless. Other than this, the leather cushion is in very good order. The leather is soft, supple with securely attached buttons, working zips and plump inners. The leather arm rest slings are in very good order too, as shown. There are minor wrinkles and surface marks here and there on the leather which you can see in our photos but this is very part of aged leather’s appeal. The canvas and suede back panels underneath the cushions and at the back are in good – very good order. There are some light marks here and there from use but nothing to flag. There is a working mechanism that raises the tilt of the chair. There are two positions. The dark stained wooden frame is solid and stable with just minor scuffs and marks to the finish – again, please refer to our photos. There is no maker’s label but this is very fine quality, well-documented chair that we attribute with confidence to Jeki, designed by Ebbe Gehl and Soren Nissen, and made in the seventies. If you’ve any questions at all, please do ask away.
