Karl-Erik Ekselius Teak and Mohair Lounge Chair Model F141 for JOC Vetlanda, Sweden 1960s

This is a quintessential example of Scandinavian Modernism: the Model F141 Lounge Chair. Designed by the renowned Swedish designer Karl-Erik Ekselius and manufactured by JOC Vetlanda (J.O. Carlsson) in Sweden during the 1960s, this chair represents the pinnacle of mid-century craft. It is a design defined by architectural clarity and ergonomic comfort, making it one of the most recognizable and coveted silhouettes in Swedish furniture history. The frame is constructed from solid teak, displaying a rich, warm grain and the exceptional joinery typical of Ekselius’s work. The focal point of the F141 is its stunning vertical slat back, which allows the chair to be placed in the center of a room as a sculptural statement. The frame features signature “knife-edge” armrests that taper elegantly, providing a tactile, organic feel that only vintage solid wood can offer.

We have paired this beautiful chair with Dedar Mohair Velvet fabric, to match the caliber of the woodwork.

📌 Condition

The frame has been meticulously refinished and is structurally sound throughout, with tight joints and a smooth, even finish. The new upholstery is immaculate, providing both comfort and durability. As with all vintage pieces, only minimal, age-appropriate character remains, adding to its authenticity.

🧡 Why It Stands Out

Its design is defined by architectural clarity and ergonomic comfort, resulting in a form that is both sculptural and highly functional.
