Description
A stunning and highly sought-after black leather sling armchair designed by Åke Fribyter and produced by Skipper Møbler in Sweden during the 1960s.
An iconic example of Scandinavian Modern design, this chair combines exceptional comfort with striking visual appeal. The sculptural black-painted timber frame supports a generous suspended leather sling seat, creating the relaxed, floating appearance that has made Fribyter’s designs enduringly popular with collectors and interior designers alike.
The original black leather upholstery has developed a beautiful patina over time, enhancing its character while remaining in very good condition. The deep sling seat and angled backrest provide outstanding comfort, making it an ideal statement chair for both contemporary and vintage interiors.
Elegant, functional, and unmistakably Scandinavian, this piece perfectly captures the craftsmanship and design philosophy that made Skipper Møbler one of the leading furniture manufacturers of the period.
A timeless and increasingly collectable lounge chair that works equally well in living rooms, reading corners, offices, and design-led commercial spaces.
