Scandinavian armchairs in velvet and steel, 1970s

Pair of armchairs with chrome-plated tubular steel frames, button-tufted grey velvet upholstery and front casters. Scandinavian production, 1970s. The chrome-plated tubular steel frame wraps around the seat and backrest, remaining fully exposed and becoming an essential part of the design. The generous grey velvet upholstery features deep button tufting, also repeated on the armrests, while the small front casters add a distinctive functional detail. The interplay between the continuous lines of the metal and the softness of the upholstery places the armchairs within the Scandinavian design of the 1970s, characterized by more enveloping, informal forms and a renewed interest in highly tactile materials. Good condition. They may show signs of age. Please pay attention to the photographs. AG355
