Black Leather Tufted 'Pernilla' Armchair by Bruno Mathsson for DUX, Sweden 1960s


A Swedish Modern ‘Pernilla’ armchair designed by Bruno Mathsson for DUX in the 1960s. This armchair features a dramatic, organic-form bent beech wood frame in a honey finish with wing shaped arms and curved legs. The original smooth, black leather upholstery and matching head rest include button tufts throughout. Leather straps keep the headrest in place, while canvas backing and silver metal hardware secure the frame. Sweden, 1960s.

Bruno Mathsson was one of the first Scandinavian designers to embrace biomorphic forms in furniture. His early pieces, such as the Eva chair and Pernilla series, feature dramatically flowing bent beechwood frames. Mathsson was known as a perfectionist who made functionality the forefront of his iconic lounge chairs, tables, armchairs and other works. He continuously experimented and discovered improvements in form, materials and methods of design.
