The Origin of the Scandinavian Armchair:

Like overall Scandinavian design, the history of the Scandinavian armchair dates to the early 20th century, with influences from the late 19th-century British Arts & Crafts movement. By integrating modern touches, the most renowned Scandinavian designers developed a distinctive and recognizable style using innovative materials such as moulded plywood, plastic, plexiglass, and glass.

Wingback Chair, Lounge Chair, Rocking Chair, Egg Chair... made of solid wood, laminated wood, oak, or walnut, covered with leather, fur, or other rare materials nature offers us, these creations revive the elegance of a bygone era. This elegance is a tradition our Maison passes down from generation to generation and holds particularly dear.

Our Maison is proud to perpetuate this tradition and protect this unique heritage by offering vintage accent armchairs that combine quality, comfort, and timeless aesthetics. These objects are more than just furniture; they reflect a cultural and artistic history and are destined to become centrepieces in your living spaces, bringing a touch of history and sophistication to your daily life.

This high-end furniture will pair wonderfully with one of our rugs: from our most classic Rue de Seine rug to our contemporary Khan rug, from our designer Tomo rug to our Forest rug, the icon of our latest Autumn/Winter 2024 collection. We are proud to know that these rare pieces adorn the most beautiful homes worldwide, from New York to London, Paris to Brussels, Geneva to Berlin, and bear the Norki signature.
