Pair of Model 568 Armchairs by Josef Frank for Svenskt Tenn

These armchairs are a wonderful example of Josef Frank’s approach to design, combining comfort, practicality, and understated elegance. The generous proportions and softly rounded forms give them a welcoming character, making them equally suited to a living room, lounge setting, or reading corner.

The chairs are fully upholstered in a dark gray textile and feature loose seat cushions that enhance both comfort and visual softness. Their relaxed appearance is balanced by octagonal stained beech legs, a subtle detail that adds character while remaining true to the overall design.

Built with a solid internal frame, spring support, and generously padded seating, the chairs provide a comfortable and supportive seating experience without feeling overly soft.

Width is approximately 33.9 inches, depth around 35.8 inches, and height about 31.9 inches. Seat height is approximately 17.7 inches, with armrests measuring around 24 inches high.

Condition is good vintage. The upholstery shows minor signs of age and use, including light wear and small stains consistent with a piece of this period. Overall, the chairs present well, and Svenskt Tenn labels are present.

What we like most about these chairs is their comfort. They have a relaxed and inviting presence without feeling oversized, making them easy to incorporate into a variety of interiors.

As with all vintage pieces, signs of use are part of the story. Colors can look slightly different depending on the light. If you'd like more details, just let me know.
