Product description
This stunning, rare vintage designer armchair will instantly add character to your interior! It's a true eye-catcher and bears a strong resemblance to the iconic designs of Norwegian designer Karl Edvard Korseth (known for the 'Satelitte' and 'Texas' models). It may have been made under license in the Netherlands.
The Great Norwegian Encyclopedia states: "The most important Scandinavian exhibition of the 1950s was the H-55 housing exhibition in Helsingborg, Sweden, in 1955. Korseth was the architect responsible for the Norwegian exhibition. LK Hjelle also exhibited several of his models there, such as the Texas armchair and a wool sofa by Sellgren & Co. Korseth's Libra book department for Aandal Møbler attracted considerable interest, including from a Dutch company that wanted to license it. This same company also wanted to negotiate for the Texas."
The armchair has been fully restored with meticulous attention to detail: New interior; Fitted with high-quality cold foam for optimal comfort and longevity. Luxurious upholstery: Upholstered in a beautiful, durable green bouclé fabric, which gives the armchairs a contemporary and stylish look. Perfect condition; the upholstery, interior, and teak frame have all been refurbished, bringing the set back to excellent, like-new condition.
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of design history that combines the charm of the past with the comfort of today. Dimensions: Height: 89 cm | Width: 65 cm | Depth: 80 cm | Seat height: 41 cm
This is the lower model (see last photos); the higher model is for sale in a separate listing.
