Pair of vintage chairs, Jylland, Jio Möbler, Sweden, 1953

Pair of modernist Jylland chairs manufactured by Jio Möbler in 1953. The frame is made of lacquered beechwood. The slender legs flow gently into a subtly reclined backrest. The seat and backrest have been newly upholstered in high-quality black synthetic leather. The chairs are very comfortable and perfectly capture the spirit of the Mid-Century Modern era.

Jio Möbler was founded in 1941 in Jönköping, Sweden. To this day, the company produces unconventional, exclusive, handmade upholstered furniture using the finest-quality fabrics. Its production is based on many years of tradition, high-quality materials and skilled craftsmanship.
