Pair of easy chair

Designed by Otto Schulz for Boet

Sweden, 1940

This pair of vintage furniture armchairs is a refined example of Otto Schulz’s distinctive Swedish design. Their sculptural silhouettes, inspired by the antique Greek klismos and Schulz’s own “Sulla” model, are translated into generously scaled, deeply set seats that feel both modern and timeless. The absence of loose cushions allows the continuous sweep of the frames and upholstery to remain visually uninterrupted, which heightens the armchairs’ architectural presence and makes them standout vintage furniture pieces.

Newly reupholstered in exquisitely textured bouclé by one of Sweden’s leading upholsterers, the chairs combine luxurious tactility with superb comfort. The rich fabric complements the elegant curvature of the backs and seats, underlining Schulz’s talent for uniting material, proportion and line. Founder of the influential firm Boet and the design magazine of the same name, Schulz played a key role in shaping Scandinavian interiors, and his work is now collected alongside Danish vintage design furniture as part of the wider Nordic modern movement.
