By Folke Ohlsson, Dux of Sweden
Located in Chino Hills, CA
An exceptional Scandinavian Modern lounge chair and ottoman designed by renowned Swedish designer Folke Ohlsson for DUX, circa 1960s. Widely recognized for his ability to merge sculptural elegance with everyday comfort, Ohlsson created some of the most enduring seating designs of the postwar era. This striking example exemplifies the best of Swedish Modern design, combining organic materials, refined proportions, and a dramatic architectural presence.
The chair features a beautifully sculpted solid beechwood frame that has been professionally refinished to highlight the warmth and character of the wood. Newly upholstered in a sophisticated gray fabric, the chair showcases Ohlsson's signature floating seat design, gently angled profile, and graceful exposed frame. The matching ottoman mirrors the chair's clean lines and provides exceptional comfort while maintaining a light visual footprint.
From every angle, the silhouette is unmistakably Scandinavian—elegant, restrained, and highly functional. The dramatic winged profile, floating arm structure, and sculptural joinery details create a commanding presence without overwhelming a space.
Professionally restored and in excellent condition, this chair and ottoman are ready for another lifetime of use.
