Are you looking for a true design classic with a timeless character? This original Danish-style armchair is the highly coveted "Tolga" model (the comfortable men's or highback variant), designed by the iconic Dutch master designer Louis van Teeffelen for Wébé.
With its sculptural, organically shaped armrests and the optically 'floating' seat shell, this model is an absolute masterpiece from the mid-century modern period. The "Tolga" armchair in this condition is found considerably less frequently than Van Teeffelen's famous dining chairs and is a beloved collector's item.

Iconic Model: The rarer "Tolga" model with the stately, high backrest (Highback) for optimal comfort.
Sculptural Craftsmanship: Solid teak frame with the recognizable, flowing, and organically tapering armrests. Stylish & Practical: Comfortable ergonomic seat shell, upholstered in the original, deep black faux leather (skai) with subtle tufted details.
