Product description
Easy Chair Model 233, designed by Swedish designer Bertil W. Berhman in the 1950s. Easy Chair Model 233 is an iconic example of Scandinavian modernism. This model is part of the "Presens" series and was produced by AB Engens Fabriker in Örkelljunga, Sweden. The design combines functionality with aesthetics, a hallmark of Scandinavian design philosophy. Bertil W. Berhman's "Presens" series reflects many of the core values of the Scandinavian design movement, such as functionality, minimalism and attention to craftsmanship. At the same time, the series is distinguished by a more daring approach in combining materials and forms. Designers such as Alvar Aalto and Arne Jacobsen often chose innovative techniques and organic forms. The "Presens" series fits within this tradition, but Berhman brought a certain modernist rigor and a focus on geometric lines that feel just a bit tighter than some of his contemporaries. What makes the 'Presens' series unique is the balance between classic Scandinavian warmth and a more international modernist sphere of influence. This makes the designs not only appropriate within the Scandinavian style, but also appealing to a wider, global audience. The series displays timeless elegance while remaining robust and functional-a recognizable hallmark of Berhman's approach. The chair has a frame made of oak, known for its durability and warm appearance. The upholstery, all new in a beautiful fabric, adds a soft and inviting texture. The clean lines and subtle curves make the chair visually appealing from every angle. The design emphasizes simplicity and craftsmanship while not losing sight of comfort. Bertil W. Berhman was an influential designer within the Scandinavian design movement. His work reflects a deep respect for materials and a commitment to timeless elegance. Model 233 is a rare and sought-after collector's item, cherished in museums worldwide as well as in private collections. This specimen was discovered in 2024 by its first owners and completely refinished in the spring of 2025 to provide decades of living enjoyment again.
