Preserved in exceptional original condition, this example reflects Mathsson’s lifelong exploration of comfort, flexibility, and visually lightweight construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExecuted with a sculptural bentwood frame and upholstered in deep oxblood leather, this version introduces a richer and more expressive material palette than the lighter textile examples more commonly encountered. The dark red leather creates a striking contrast against the warmth of the wood while emphasizing the soft suspended quality of the seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Minette embodies Bruno Mathsson’s distinctive approach to furniture design, where ergonomic performance and structural clarity become inseparable. Rather than relying on thick upholstery or visual mass, the chair uses a suspended leather shell supported by a continuous wooden frame to create comfort through controlled flexibility and body adaptation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is characterized by its elegant cantilevered geometry and gently curved structural lines. The upholstered body appears almost independent from the frame, attached through visible fasteners that celebrate construction rather than conceal it. Subtle button detailing across the leather reinforces the tailored quality of the piece while maintaining its relaxed and understated presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example remains in exceptional vintage condition. The original oxblood leather presents beautifully with a rich natural patina developed over time, while the bentwood structure remains clean, stable, and beautifully preserved. The surfaces show only light signs of age consistent with careful long-term ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA refined and increasingly uncommon example of Scandinavian modern seating, where comfort, experimentation, and craftsmanship are resolved into one of Bruno Mathsson’s most distinctive chair designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth: 20.5” (52 cm)\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 22.5” (57 cm)\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 30.75” (78 cm)\u003cbr\u003eSeat Height: 17.5” (44.5 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorldwide shipping available.
