This original barber chair was manufactured by the Swedish brand NIKE (Domkraft A.B.) in Eskilstuna around 1940. The design combines industrial functionality with a robust, classic aesthetic characteristic of professional salon furniture from the mid-twentieth century.
The chair consists of a heavy metal base in a cream-colored finish, combined with silver-colored metal accents and a profiled round floor plate. The seat, backrest, and adjustable headrest are upholstered in a deep black shade, creating a sharp contrast with the light base. The armrests feature authentic Bakelite details. The piece of furniture features a smooth swivel mechanism and a reclining backrest, designed at the time for optimal comfort and ergonomics during professional treatments.
The object is in beautifully restored condition, in which the original character and industrial charm have been carefully preserved. The mechanical parts function properly and the upholstery is structurally intact. The metal fittings and the base display a light, authentic patina befitting the age and historical use of the chair. This distinctive piece of furniture serves as a striking focal point in an industrial or eclectic interior. It is a characterful addition to a modern living space, a creative studio, or a collector's room where historical objects are appreciated.
