Bruno Mathsson easy chairs

Pair of high-backed easy chairs model Eva Hög designed by Bruno Mathsson and produced by Karl Mathsson AB in Värnamo, Sweden. These chairs exemplify Mathsson’s signature approach to ergonomics and craftsmanship, combining sculptural form with functional comfort. The gently curved oak frame, steam-bent for both strength and flexibility, follows the natural contours of the body and is complemented by elegantly shaped armrests.

The original leather upholstery, with its horizontal stitched channels and integrated headrest, displays a rich patina that reflects decades of use and adds depth to the material’s character. The supple leather not only enhances comfort but also underscores Mathsson’s commitment to natural materials and refined detailing. The lightweight yet sturdy construction demonstrates the designer’s deep understanding of structure and material behavior, while the high back provides excellent support for extended seating.

Bruno Mathsson (1907–1988) is widely regarded as one of Sweden’s most influential furniture designers, known for merging modernist principles with traditional Scandinavian craftsmanship. His work is celebrated for its organic lines, ergonomic innovation, and pioneering use of bentwood techniques. Karl Mathsson AB, the family company founded in 1865, produced many of his most iconic designs and remains synonymous with high-quality Swedish furniture design.

This pair, produced in 1968, represents an important period in Scandinavian modernism and captures Mathsson’s refined balance of form, comfort, and craftsmanship.

Dimensions are 60 cm wide, 75 cm deep, and 111 cm high (23.6 x 29.5 x 43.7 in), with a seat height of 38 cm (15 in).
