Product description
This is a Kroken lounge armchair, designed by Swedish designer Åke Fribytter for Nelo in the 1970s. This model is an icon of Scandinavian design, renowned for its sculptural silhouette and innovative cantilever structure that seems to defy gravity.
The armchair features a black lacquered wooden frame that forms a continuous sled base and integrated armrests. The hammock-like seat is made of black leather, offering an enveloping and comfortable seating experience. The design includes a padded headrest for added support, highlighting Fribytter's attention to ergonomics.
Produced in Sweden, this armchair represents a significant piece of Mid-Century Modern design. Its overall condition is good, with the leather having developed a soft patina over time, consistent with its age and use. The wooden frame retains its original finish.
Thanks to its distinctive design and monochromatic black color, the Kroken armchair integrates perfectly into modern, minimalist, or Scandinavian-inspired interiors. It works well as a statement piece in a living room, reading nook, or office.
