Arnold Madsen & Henry Schubell fauteuil 'Edith' | several pieces available

A stunning lounge chair, model _Edith_, designed by the Danish design duo Aksel Bender Madsen & Henry Schubell in collaboration with the Dutch furniture manufacturer Bovenkamp from Hilversum. This example is the men's model with the characteristic high backrest, executed around 1960. During this period, Bovenkamp was strongly inspired by Scandinavian design and collaborated with renowned Danish designers, resulting in a series of timeless furniture classics where elegance, comfort, and craftsmanship perfectly come together. The _Edith_ is a beautiful example of this. The solid frame is made of solid oak, combined with refined armrests made of teak. The beautiful shape and the subtle combination of woods give the chair its characteristic Mid-Century Modern appearance. The chair has been fully restored with great care. The woodwork has been entirely hand-sanded and refinished, giving it a beautiful, fresh appearance as good as new. The upholstery has also been completely renewed, using heavy quality Danish wool upholstery fabric with a particularly beautiful green-black weave. The rich texture and colour combination fit excellently with the character of the design. A nice detail for the enthusiast is the original stamp mark from Bovenkamp, which is still present on the woodwork under the seat. A particularly beautiful design chair from the heyday of Dutch furniture design, with a pronounced Scandinavian signature and a wonderfully comfortable seat.
