An iconic Hunter chair designed by Torbjørn Afdal (1917–1999) and produced by Bruksbo in Norway in the 1960s. Widely regarded as one of the defining pieces of Scandinavian modern design, the Hunter chair is celebrated for its architectural construction, exceptional comfort, and distinctive leather armrests. The solid beech frame, stained to resemble a darker hardwood, highlights the clean lines and robust craftsmanship characteristic of Norwegian furniture from this period. The chair features its original canvas suspension system with newly upholstered premium leather cushions, hand-buttoned, as well as new leather armrests, professionally made to stay true to the original design. The chair has been professionally refurbished with high-quality leather while preserving its authentic 1950s character. The frame exhibits a beautiful aged patina with only slight signs of age consistent with its vintage origin. The chair is structurally sound, comfortable, and ready for everyday use while remaining highly collectible.
