The "Duxello" wingback lounge chair was one of Ohlsson's early designs, dating to 1955. This particular chair has just undergone a complete restoration. The beech wood arms were stripped sanded and refinished. All the foam and padding have been replaced and it has been reupholstered with a high end wool upholstery fabric by Camira. Camira's "Craggen" fabric has become one of my favorites for mid-century pieces. Its nubby wool texture suits the style well and Camira has woven the neutral gray wool into a colored backing for a subtle pop of color. This fabric uses a medium gray on a teal backing which gives the overall color a cool, almost blue-gray look. Closer inspection reveals the brighter teal backing.
This chair has nice firm support and the angles of the back and seat make it very comfortable for reading, watching TV or just lounging. The subtle wingback design and clean lines would make it suitable for many decor styles. Similarly styled chairs are selling for 3-4x this price at Design Within Reach and are not true vintage pieces. This 60 yr old chair looks and functions as new and is ready for another 60 years of lounging.
