Östen Kristiansson easy chairs
This is a rare pair of easy chairs designed by Östen Kristiansson and produced by Luxus in Vittsjö, Sweden, during the 1950s. The chairs are constructed from solid oak and feature blue webbing, a classic combination of materials that reflects the Scandinavian modern aesthetic of the era.
The frames are made from warm oak with clean lines and elegantly tapered legs, highlighting the high level of craftsmanship typical of Swedish mid-century design. The webbing, which forms the seat and backrest, is tightly woven and retains a firm yet comfortable structure, showcasing the functional yet refined approach to seating design.
The design is minimalistic, with subtle geometric shapes and a focus on comfort, creating a piece that is both visually appealing and ergonomically supportive. The oak wood is lightly finished, bringing out the natural grain of the wood, and the blue webbing adds a dynamic color contrast, making the chairs striking while maintaining an understated elegance.
The overall dimensions of the chairs are 63 cm in width, 66 cm in depth, and 81.5 cm in height, with a seat height of 37 cm (approximately 24.8 x 26 x 32 inches, seat height 14.6 inches).
These chairs are in very good condition with minor signs of wear, consistent with age and use, and maintain their original structure and finish.
