These Kengu lounge chairs are a distinctive pair of vintage Scandinavian seating with a strong sculptural character. The set has been selected for its elegant proportions, expressive silhouette and unmistakable 1970s atmosphere. Together they bring depth and personality to a living room, reading corner, studio or carefully composed hospitality interior.
The open form gives the chairs a light visual presence while still creating a comfortable place to sit. Their character works beautifully alongside warm wood, textured textiles, natural materials and other original design pieces. Use the pair together for a balanced arrangement, or place them in separate rooms when you want to repeat the same design language throughout a home.
Kengu lounge chairs and Scandinavian design
The design has the relaxed confidence associated with vintage Nordic interiors. Clear lines and carefully considered proportions make the pair easy to combine with modern architecture as well as a more layered vintage collection. The chairs are especially appealing to collectors who value original period design instead of anonymous contemporary reproductions.
