Armchair by Fritz Hansen, Model 1590, Elm & Lambswool, Scandinavian Modern, 1940s

A beautiful example of the iconic lounge chair Model 1590 produced by the Danish manufacturer Fritz Hansen in the 1940s, featuring a seat reupholstered in luxurious lambswool. Crafted from solid elm, the sculptural shape and understated expression of the chair reflect an important moment in modern Scandinavian design, combining traditional craftsmanship with early functionalist sensibilities. The sculpted wooden frame, characterised by gently curved armrests and a visually engaging open spindle structure, expresses both stability and refined elegance. The warm tones of the elm complement the deep, soft texture of the lambswool seat, making this unique piece a seat that is both visually striking and exceptionally comfortable. This beautiful chair will complement many interior styles, including vintage, antique, classic, Scandinavian, modern, or Art Deco.
