Easy chair designed by Hans Asplund for Nordiska Kompaniet, Sweden
1955
Walnut and leather.
This elegant easy chair, designed by Hans Asplund for Nordiska Kompaniet in 1955, is a striking example of Swedish mid-century modern design. Originally created for the beauty salon at the Nordiska Kompaniet department store located on Hamngatan in Stockholm, this chair combines functional luxury with an artistic form that elevates any space.
Made from rich walnut wood and soft leather, this easy chair boasts a refined yet comfortable design. The warm walnut frame highlights the sleek lines and elegant curves of the chair, while the supple leather upholstery provides comfort and sophistication. The piece's minimalist design, with clean, flowing lines, reflects the Nordic aesthetic of the period.
Believed to have been produced in limited quantities exclusively for the beauty salon, this chair is a rare find. Its connection to the prestigious Nordiska Kompaniet department store adds to its value, making it a unique collector's item for lovers of Scandinavian design. The chair's combination of high-quality materials and thoughtful design ensures that it remains a standout piece for any interior.
