A set of four iconic mid-century lounge chairs: three in black leather and one in brown leather, all with rosewood frames. These chairs were made under license from arne norell by 'scanform' in colombia in the 1965s. The authenticity has been confirmed by arne norell’s daughter, marie norell.
arne norell (1917-1971) was a swedish furniture designer.
in 1954 arne founded his own company by the name of 'möbel ab arne norell'. Today, this company is run by his daughter marie norell and her family and is known as 'norell furniture’.
many of the 'scanform' edition chairs were exported to the usa and the netherlands antilles and are very rare.
these specific chairs were sold to a store in aruba.
a dutch lady and her family were living in aruba. They bought these chairs in this small furniture store in oranjestad, the capital city of aruba, around 1970.
after being a teacher on a girls’ school she moved back to her motherland, with her family and the chairs.
a great story of iconic chairs that traveled from colombia to holland.
the chairs have now been fully restored and received the love and care they deserve. The rosewood has been treated by a professional wood restoration company, cleaned, and polished with beeswax.
all the leather has been cleaned and slightly painted where necessary. To retain the durability of these fantastic chairs, the leather has been treated with a leather nutrition oil multiple times.
the stitches that required re-stitching have been repaired by hand with the saddle stitch. This strong stitch will assure that the chairs remain fully functioning for many more years. These repairs have been done by a professional handbag designer in the netherlands.
only one screw in all four of the chairs is not vintage authentic. To assure the same quality, the replaced screw is sent by the husband of marie norell and is the same one that is being used in their current safari chairs.
in case the buyer desires, there is possibility to paint all faded parts of the leather as an extra service.
