Early Sibbo Loungette Chair in Oak Signed Yngve Ekstrom Stolab mid century rare
I have owned this for 15 years and bought it from the original owner who bought it from the Stolab factory, a Swedish lady living in London who nursed her babies in this very chair. It has bags of charm and lovely original patina as well as a pencil signature’Sibbo 5887 Ek’ which I presume is for Ekstrom. It might even be by his own hand. Here’s a little bit about this rare chair. The Sibbo chair designed by Yngve Ekström for Stolab, Sweden, circa 1950. The Sibbo chairs are referred to as’loungettes’ on the basis of their petite size. The design has a wide seat -characteristic of Ekström- but the chairs are squat in every other respect. Aesthetically, each part of the chair is distinct, the top rail, seat, arms, spindles, and legs are all unique in shape, but the individual forms are equally strong. Although small and created entirely from wood, the loungettes are perfectly formed and provide a surprising amount of comfort to the sitter. The slender and sculptural form also creates a brilliant visual lightness that means the chairs would fit into even the most challenging of spaces. The chair is structurally perfect with only the smallest of nicks to the back and the oak used throughout boasts the original un molested finish and a lovely aged patina. Any questions please ask.
