Jan Ekselius – Etcetera Chair – Kvadrat Wool – Sweden – 1970

Jan Ekselius Etcetera chair in Kvadrat wool

This Jan Ekselius Etcetera chair brings a striking sculptural shape to a seating area. The Swedish design is associated with 1970 and has flowing lines that define its distinctive appearance. This example has been fully restored and reupholstered in Tonus 4 wool from Kvadrat.

New foam beneath the upholstery gives the chair a fresh finish. Meanwhile, the curved form creates a strong visual focal point. It is an expressive choice for a living room, reading corner or a space dedicated to vintage design.

A sculptural lounge chair

The Jan Ekselius Etcetera chair combines a bent steel frame with an elastic base. Its flowing outline gives it a softer appearance than a conventional armchair. Instead of a boxy seat, the design uses curves to create a continuous profile.

For example, place the chair beside a simple side table to let its shape stand out. It can also sit alongside a sofa as an individual lounge seat. Leave enough room around it to appreciate the outline from different angles.

The Kvadrat wool adds texture to the curved surface. In addition, the new upholstery and foam make this restored example easy to combine with a carefully furnished interior. Neutral furnishings offer a calm backdrop, while other sculptural pieces can create a more expressive setting.
