Pernilla 69 armchair by Bruno Mathsson

Armchair "pernilla 69" design in 1969 by bruno mathsson (1907-1988) published by dux in sweden. Rare version in cherry red leather, linen canvas and structure in curved and varnished beech wood. Head rest cushion adjustable in height using perforated leather straps. This armchair with its organic design is one of the jewels of swedish design. To design it, bruno mathsson sat in a mound of snow as comfortably as possible and then took the forms of his imprint! With the pernilla 69 armchair, bruno mathsson achieves a kind of ideal: to create a seat so comfortable that you hardly feel that you are sitting. It must be admitted that the most difficult thing is to get out of it! Bruno mathsson is the father of swedish design, the "swedish modern" of the 30s and 40s. Far ahead of its time, it was first failure with its very ergonomic strap chairs guided by its ideal of an organic and functional design, then it will finally meet success. He is known for his eva chairs (strap chair) and pernilla, but beyond a comfortable seat, it is a whole way of life that he advocated for modern man: very close to nature, he was also an architect, through his simple houses, all in transparency. The lightness of its functional and ergonomic furniture, organic shapes and natural materials inspire many architects.
