Sven Ivar Dysthe easy chairs
This very rare pair of easy chairs, model 7001, was designed by Sven Ivar Dysthe and produced by Dokka Møbler in Norway during the 1960s. The chairs embody the principles of Scandinavian modern design, featuring frames crafted from richly grained rosewood that highlight the natural beauty and durability of the wood. The design is distinguished by elegantly curved armrests and a robust, yet refined structural composition, demonstrating expert joinery and meticulous craftsmanship with seamless connections between parts. The chairs have been reupholstered with high-quality fabric from Kvadrat, a producer known for its durable and period-appropriate textiles, maintaining a balance between contemporary freshness and respect for the original era. The cushions are generously sized to provide comfort, complemented by a slightly reclined backrest designed to enhance ergonomic support. These chairs represent a significant example of Norwegian mid-century furniture, combining organic materials with minimalist, inviting forms.
The dimensions are 80 cm in width and depth, 73 cm in height, with a seat height of 40 cm, offering a spacious yet compact seating experience.
