About the Item

A striking Danish Mid-Century Modern swivel lounge chair designed by Svend Skipper and produced by Skippers Furniture in Denmark, dating from circa 1970s. The chair is beautifully upholstered in supple cognac brown leather, displaying a rich warm tone and an attractive natural patina that enhances its authentic vintage character. Its generously padded, sculptural seat provides exceptional comfort while retaining the relaxed elegance associated with Scandinavian furniture of the period. The upholstery is suspended within a beautifully formed solid beech frame, distinguished by dramatic curved supports that sweep around the sides of the chair. The frame continues into an elegant four-star pedestal base, allowing the chair to swivel while creating a particularly distinctive architectural silhouette. A suspended canvas support beneath the upholstery contributes to the chair's relaxed, enveloping seating position, while the generously cushioned leather provides excellent support and comfort. The combination of warm cognac leather and blond beech gives the chair a particularly attractive Scandinavian appearance. The leather has recently been professionally cleaned and conditioned and the chair is presented in excellent vintage condition, with age-related patina consistent with its period. A highly decorative and comfortable example of Danish lounge furniture and an excellent statement piece for a Mid-Century Modern or contemporary interior. A matching chair is also available separately, together with a small footstool in a complementary leather colour.
