Pair of vintage Svend Skipper “Model 91” lounge chairs, Denmark, 1960s

We are proud to present an exceptionally rare and iconic pair of Danish modern lounge chairs: the Svend Skipper ‘Model 91, ’ affectionately celebrated as the "Teddy Bear" chair. First introduced in 1956, this design is a pinnacle of Mid-Century creativity, renowned for its enveloping, organic form that invites both admiration and deep relaxation. This meticulously restored pair captures Skipper’s original vision with museum-quality precision, honoring the sculptural legacy that makes this model so sought-after by connoisseurs. The restoration of a Teddy Bear chair is a profound exercise in design reverence. It requires an intimate understanding of its unique anatomy; the gentle, flowing curves of the arms, the precise cant of the backrest, and the exacting profile that defines its plush silhouette. Our process ensured the sturdy inner frame and solid teak leg base were perfectly preserved, while new upholstery was tailored to replicate the original fitted cushions and graduated back foam. The striking contrast of the warm teak nails against the fabric highlights Skipper’s masterful blend of robust craftsmanship and soft, inviting comfort. As a defining piece of 1960s Danish design, this pair offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of furniture history. Exuding both monumental presence and undeniable coziness, they are no doubt destined to be the heirloom focal point of a sophisticated interior. Offered as a pair or individually, each chair will be shipped with utmost care in a separate custom box.
