The armchair ESA 802 is an outstanding example of Scandinavian Mid-Century design and was manufactured by the Danish manufacturer ESA Møbelværk. Designed by the German designer Werner Langenfeld, this model combines functional clarity with high seating comfort and high-quality material selection – entirely in keeping with the design philosophy of the 1960s and 1970s.
Typical of the ESA 802 is its elegant, softly curved shape with integrated armrests. The generously upholstered leather cushions for the seat and back ensure a particularly comfortable and relaxed sitting experience. The loosely placed cushions also give the armchair a casual, inviting look and adapt comfortably to the body.
The armchair comes in the club armchair version without a headrest and is in good condition. The black leather is of high quality, supple, and perfectly preserved. It shows careful maintenance, with an age-appropriate patina, such as slight abrasions on the corners, and underlines the special character of this design classic.
A striking detail is the delicate star-shaped metal swivel base, which creates an exciting contrast to the voluminous body. This shows an authentic patina, which further emphasizes the vintage charm of the armchair. The armchair is swivelling, offering a high degree of functionality in everyday life.
The ESA 802 is an exemplary representation of Scandinavian modernism: timeless design, high-quality workmanship, and exceptional seating comfort. A stylish design object with history – ideal for sophisticated living spaces or collectors of high-quality vintage furniture.
