Designed by Alf Svensson in the 1950s, the Kontur lounge chair is a distinctive example of Swedish Mid-Century Modern design, combining sculptural woodworking with an innovative reclining mechanism.
The chair features an open solid beech frame with elegantly curved armrests, supporting a generously upholstered high backrest and seat. Its integrated reclining mechanism allows the chair to transition naturally from an upright seating position to a more relaxed angle.
A suspended headrest cushion, secured by adjustable straps, provides additional comfort and complements the chair’s ergonomic design. The warm tone of the beech frame contrasts with the upholstered surfaces, emphasizing the lightness and organic lines of the structure.
With its generous proportions, adjustable reclining position, and carefully shaped wooden elements, the Kontur offers a comfortable seating experience while retaining the restrained character of Scandinavian Modern design.
