Per-Olof Scotte “Premiär 69” leather armchair, Sweden

Before IKEA became the global behemoth it is today - the mid-century company only had stores in Sweden.  By the mid 1960s - with a planned expansion to other European countries - they hired a group of young designers to create cool modernist pieces.   Per-Olof Scotte created his famous Premiär 69 chair in saddle leather over a beautifully sculpted solid oak frame.  Designed 1967 for Möbel Ikea, Sweden.  Seat height 15.8"
