About the Item

This very rare lounge chair was designed by Sven Ellekaer and produced by Christian Linneberg Møbelfabrik in Denmark, 1962. The striking design is composed of a semi-circular bent backrest and a round circle as a seat, both upholstered in a black vinyl leather. The three legs are made of teak wood, the two back legs supporting the back rest. The decoratively applied vertical lines of a contrasting wenge wood veneer in the legs are unique for this model, which was normally executed entirely in teak or rosewood.

Kurt Olsen Model 221 Armchair in Élitis Tweed Fabric, Slagelse Møbelfabrik, 1955

By Kurt Olsen, Élitis, Slagelse Mobelvaerk

Located in The Hague, NL

This rare and iconic armchair was designed by Kurt Olsen in 1955 and produced by Slagelse Møbelfabrik in Denmark as model no. 221. A standout piece of mid-century Danish design, it showcases Olsen’s signature sculptural lines and refined craftsmanship. Generously proportioned, the chair features a distinctive wing-shaped backrest that offers both exceptional comfort and an enveloping, supportive feel. The sharply angled back legs create a dynamic silhouette, drawing the eye forward to the elegantly curved solid oak armrests. The legs are crafted in solid teak. This chair has been professionally refinished and reupholstered. The interior upholstery has been renewed, while the exterior is in a luxurious grey tweed fabric by Élitis. The textile boasts a nuanced, multi-tonal palette—subtle flecks of ivory, grey, brown, and pale blue lend depth. Often affectionately referred to as Kurt Olsen’s “Papa Bear...
