Midcentury Swedish ‘Classic’ Leather Lounge Chair by Sylve Stenqvist chair for OPE Mobler
Swedish furniture maker, OPE Mobler, collaborated with some of the very best midcentury talent from Kofod Larsen to Ingmar Thillmark to Sylve Stenqvist, the design brains behind this highly prized ‘Classic’ easy chair. It’s sumptuously designed with flowing lines and tactile curves and contours. We love its open frame, inviting stance and its generous proportions, making it especially comfortable. It comes with its original tan leather, buttoned cushions but we think we prefer it without the back cushion so you can enjoy the splaying back spindles. The wooden frame has undergone a very careful, considered restoration by Karl to bring it back to its former glory. It looks exquisite. This is a rarely seen and very special statement chair that looks outstanding from every angle.

Description
This original, vintage chair is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good – very good, used condition. The wooden frame has been fully restored with great care and consideration – it was in quite a sorry state on acquisition. This involved stripping the original chipped and faded coloured lacquer, then staining, waxing and polishing for a durable, uniform finish. It looks outstanding now whilst keeping it authentic and not removing all signs of age and character. The upholstery is all original. There are two separate cushions. We’ve cleaned the leather with specialist, nourishing cleaners so it’s now soft and supple. The curved back cushion has securely attached buttons on both sides and working zip. There is some light wear and fading to the buttons in particular, along with wrinkling to the leather as you would expect to see. Likewise, the thick seat cushion has some wrinkling from use across its top and sides, a characteristic of vintage leather that we love. It comes with a working zip and plump inner. The finishing canvas underneath the seat cushion has a faint tide mark on one side – please refer to our photo. The maker’s label is in place. It’s superbly constructed, solid and sturdy with no wobbles. It was imported directly from Sweden and it dates from the early 1970s.
