Description

Bengt Ruda, Nizza teak chair for IKEA, 1959A shaped teak chair with the original faux leather upholstery designed by Bengt Ruda for IKEA a in 1959. The chair made its debut in the Ikea catalogue of 1960 and were only produced for a few years so not very many were made. As much of the early IKEA production, this chair was produced in Denmark. Some of the leg joints have been re glued but it remains sturdy and in overall good vintage condition with light ware consistent with age and use.

The leather has great patina and is definitely early but possibly a later addition and has been stabilized at some point with fabric underneath

This type of pine furniture became popular during the late 1930s and into the 1940s and were specifically designed for Swedish summer houses that increased in this period

Swiss architect Le Corbusier was fascinated with it and used it in many of his buildings (it sometimes get the nickname "model Le Corbusier")

It's though surprisingly sturdy if the cracks is taken under consideration
