“Ari” armchair, designed by Arne Norell for Möbel AB, Sweden, c. 1966.
Curved chrome-plated steel frame with a dark brown leather seat, cushioned with horizontal stitching, and a headrest roller. An icon of modern Scandinavian design, the Ari armchair combines ergonomic comfort, minimalist elegance, and fine materials. Produced by Arne Norell's own publishing house, it is a landmark piece of post-war Swedish furniture.
An exemplary piece of mid-20th-century Swedish art, marked by technical rigor, material honesty, and visual sobriety — central values of Scandinavian modernism.
