Pair of Danish Cabinetmaker Armchairs in Lelièvre Bouclé, Oak and Teak, 1950s

About the Item

This rare set consisting of two armchairs and a matching stool were produced by a Danish cabinetmaker in Roskilde in the mid 1950s. The design of the armchairs is marked by the slightly reclined, wing shaped back with buttoned upholstery details. The organically curved arms are executed in solid oak wood with the armrests in teak wood. The four tapered legs are in solid oak as well, with the back legs placed at angle, pointing outwards. The single matching stool in a rectangular shape with tapered legs in oak. This beautiful Scandinavian Modern design is visually striking from all angles, making it ideal for central placement in a room. The set has been completely restored and reupholstered. The ivory wool and linen bouclé fabric is by Lelièvre Paris. The thin, rhythmic stripes of the fabric bring beautiful depth and offer a nice contrast with the oak wood. Danish Modern designers working in the same era include Arnold Madsen, Finn Juhl, Philip Arctander, Kurt Olsen and Hans Wegner.

Ignazio Gardella 'Digamma' Armchair in Emerald Green Lelièvre Fabric and Brass
By Santa & Cole, Lelièvre Paris, Ignazio Gardella
Located in The Hague, NL
Designed by Ignazio Gardella in 1957, the Digamma lounge chair is a comfortable chair with roots in the late Italian modernist tradition. Its rational construction features two geometric sections - the rectangular upholstered back and seat - bound by a firm upholstered frame. The black metallic legs are finished off with Gardella's iconic brass 'duck' feet. The armchair has a three-position reclining backrest offering additional comfort and adjustability. This chair is a custom version realized by Santa & Cole for Kabinet Hubert, upholstered and sewn by hand in an emerald green Lelièvre fabric. This soft and dense fabric is a delicate combination of chenille and bouclé yarns. Ignazio Gardella was a member of the so-called third generation of the Modern Movement. He is considered one of the greatest exponents of Italian Rationalism, although he followed its principles in a much more personal way, searching to overcome its limitations. In 1957, he created the Digamma armchair...
