High-back modernist armchair with white upholstery, Bröderna Andersson, Sweden, 1960s

Description

High-back modernist armchair made by the Swedish manufacturer Bröderna Andersson in the 1960s. Featuring a strikingly rare form, the armchair’s frame is made of teak. The armrests form a frame running along the entire backrest, giving it a distinctive character. The tall, slightly reclined backrest enhances comfort. The backrest and seat are upholstered in high-quality white bouclé fabric with a thick, pronounced weave. The aesthetic essence of the design and Scandinavian craftsmanship come together to create an outstanding piece of the highest calibre.

Bröderna Andersson was founded in 1912 in Värnforsen, in what is now Ekenässjön. Its founder, Gottfrid Andersson, made effective use of the opportunities offered by a new era. Together with his wife, he embarked on a journey in high-quality design that has now lasted for over 100 years. In 1946, his sons Sven, Inge and Max Andersson took over the company and established Bröderna Andersson’s Industrier in Ekenässjön. In 1956, they built a new factory on Vetlandavägen. Over the years, the factory was successively expanded. In 1996, cousins from the third generation took over the company and continue the family tradition. Furniture by Bröderna Andersson is an investment that lasts for generations.

The armchair is in very good vintage condition. The upholstery has been restored. The seat height is 42 cm.

The colours of products shown in photographs may differ slightly from the actual colours. This is due to individual monitor settings and the type of lighting—the photographs were taken in artificial light, which may affect the perception of shades. Nevertheless, we make every effort to ensure that the photographs reflect the actual appearance of the product as accurately as possible.
