‘Etcetera’ Chaise Lounge and Ottoman by Jan Ekselius for J.O. Carlsson
This visually striking, ergonomically-sound chaise lounge / lounge chair with ottoman was designed by Jan Ekselius for J. O. Carlsson, Vetlanda circa 1970 and epitomizes the marriage of form and function. A continuous ‘wave’ form made from molded steel and foam offers comfort and stability without compromising its form (the foam isn’t bulky, it is perfectly molded to the frame).
The foam and ochre velour zip-off upholstery covers are original. The upholstery has been professionally cleaned but light wear remains, as pictured. Additionally, there is a small hole and a snag to the velour on the chair, and a few tiny holes to the ottoman. A small piece of the ottoman’s plastic foot is missing, but does not compromise its stability and can only be detected if turned upside down. Overall, the set is in good, vintage condition, and the upholstery can be left as is with minor flaws.
Originally purchased by a noted NYC architect at Phillips Du Pury Auction in the 12/12/2001 modern sale. Includes original auction catalog.
