This Juul Kristensen armchair for Glostrup Møbelfabrik, typical design of the 60s, is THE piece to have for a living room as design as it is warm. It comes to us directly from Denmark. We love its pretty lines full of softness, its teak wood in excellent condition and its soft and comfortable wool upholstery. Jakob takes its place alongside other antique furniture or in a more modern universe to create the perfect mix of new and second-hand.

A brief history of Scandinavian design

While in the 1920s and 1950s the metal tube took off in Germany, France and Italy, the Netherlands preferred wood, a material that conducts heat and is abundantly available in the Nordic regions. Scandinavian furniture maintains a close proximity to this material that the inhabitants, surrounded by vast forests, encounter daily. Thus, Scandinavian design, like Art Nouveau furniture in France, is intended to be close to nature. Scandinavian designers are inventing a repertoire of functional forms that retain the softness of wood. Modern furniture is expressed in organic forms. The ornamental stripping characterizes this furniture whose first quality is comfort. This style with soft curves is in full swing after the Second World War with the almost systematic use of teak wood. Available in large quantities, it is resistant and easy to work with and gives an elegant, satin finish to the rooms it covers. Scandinavian design is part of the philosophy of beauty for all, which serves the well-being of the nation. In accordance with this philosophy of beauty for well-being, Debongout offers a selection of Scandinavian furniture: chest of drawers, sideboard, and secretary will give a 60's touch to your interiors.
