SILVER Seller in Roma, Italy
* to be reworked * This refined vintage 1960s Danish armchair in fine birch by Jo Carlsson for Joc Vetlanda represents the Scandinavian interpretation of the relaxation seat, where the high and enveloping backrest offers complete support from the lumbar area up to the shoulders, creating an ideal domestic refuge for reading, conversation or daily rest. The Danish production of the sixties excelled in the creation of armchairs that combined superior ergonomic comfort and formal elegance through clean lines and studied proportions that integrate naturally into contemporary environments. Dimensions Width: 56cm Total height: 81 cm Seat height: 45 cm Depth: 56 cm Characteristics of the Danish High Backrest The distinctive feature of this armchair lies in the vertical backrest developed in height which offers complete support up to the cervical area, a design solution that the Danish masters of the sixties developed to create relaxation seats capable of competing with American lounge armchairs while maintaining that formal sobriety typical of Nordic aesthetics. The enveloping curvature of the backrest distributes body weight evenly while the armrests with rounded ends have been sculpted following ergonomic principles that favor natural comfort without stiffening the posture. The inclined legs with tapered section visually lighten the structure, creating that sensation of suspension that characterizes the best Scandinavian design, where construction robustness and aesthetic lightness coexist through proportions calibrated with artisanal precision. Danish Materials and Production from the Sixties The supporting structure is entirely made of birch with a natural oiled finish that enhances the amber shades and rich grains of tropical wood, a material that the Danish masters favored for its dimensional stability and ability to develop warm patinas through decades of daily use. The Danish production of the sixties represents one of the highest moments of Nordic craftsmanship applied to upholstered seating, when traditional knowledge of woodworking was combined with new upholstering techniques to create armchairs with superior comfort destined to become the fulcrum of contemporary living. The traditional joints visible in the structure testify to the craftsmanship used in its creation, while the clean design maintains an aesthetic relevance that goes beyond the temporary trends of modern rest furniture.
