Scandinavian Design Furniture

2008-May-9 - Pernilla 2 and Pernilla 3 furniture (möbler) designs.




In the world of furniture (möbler) design there are plenty of different styles that a person can truly enjoy. Not only are there many different styles of furniture (möbler) but there are also many different designers of that furniture (möbler).  Through different times and through different eras there have been furniture (möbler) designers that were very popular and then faded away after the moment was over and then there are some furniture (möbler) designers that stayed the test of time and even after the moment was over continued on their path of furniture d(möbler) esigning and had great success.

One such furniture (möbler) designer was Bruno Mathsson.  Bruno Mathsson is truly loved and admired by the best of furniture (möbler) designers.  His Scandinavian furniture (möbler) designs gave many people the ability to enjoy the simplest of pleasures, relaxing in a really good chair.  He was not only a man that could make a phenomenal chair or piece of furniture (möbler) but he also an architect and a renowned one at that.  He started designing buildings in the 1930’s and had much success while doing so.  Bruno Mathsson also designed some great pieces of furniture (möbler)  and during the fifties and sixties many people knew his work well.

Two of his most famous furniture (möbler) designs are the Pernilla 2 chair (stol) and the Pernilla 3 chair (stol).  The Pernilla 2 chair is an easy chair (stol) and the Pernilla 3 is actually a lounge chair (stol).  The way that the human body would fit in a chair (stol) was important to Bruno Mathsson and so it showed in his chair (stol) and furniture (möbler) designs.  It is said that at one point Bruno Mathsson actually went out into the snow and sat down so he could see the shape that his sitting position left.  He was very focused on finding the most comfortable sitting positions for his furniture and he did.

The Pernilla 2 chair (stol) is an easy chair (stol) that has organic lines and provides the perfect natural sitting position for many people.  You can get this chair (stol) with padded armrests and pillow like headrests or you can get the chair (stol) with out the padding.  Either way the Pernilla 2 chair (stol) is very comfortable to sit in.  in the Pernilla 3 lounge chair (stol) you can feel the same comfort as in the Pernilla 2 chair (stol) but with a much more luxurious feeling to it.  With this lounging version of the Pernilla 2 you will find the padding through out the chair gives it a true relaxing feeling.  And if you so desire to cover the chair with a natural Australian sheepskin you may as well plan to do a lot of sitting in your chair for you will never want to get up from it.

When a person has some good pieces of furniture (möbler) you can tell.  Through out the years there have been many good pieces of furniture (möbler) made but Bruno Mathsson seems to have put out many, many wonderful pieces of furniture (möbler) throughout his life time.  Some of his designs are even copied by other to this day.  There are also some legitimate copies of his designs that are being used today and people absolutely still love them.  Scandinavian furniture (möbler) is a wonderful type of furniture (möbler) design to enjoy. Even though many pieces and styles of furniture (möbler) are designed and become popular and then fade away, the Scandinavian style of furniture (möbler) has stayed true to form and many people continuously purchase it.  If you enjoy the simple structure of Scandanavian furniture then looking into Bruno Mathsson’s designs will be a pleasurable experience for you.

About Me

Scandinavian design has set the standard internationally in the furniture industry and this was largely achieved in the post-war era when Scandinavian countries were relatively poor. This inspired a great deal of inventiveness as Scandinavians had to be very creative in using whatever materials they could get their hands on.
