Carl Edward Matthes for Matthes Polstermøbelfabrik armchair model 33A

Danish vintage armchair – Carl Edward Matthes, model 33A A characterful Danish armchair from the 1950s, attributed to Carl Edward Matthes and produced by Matthes Polstermøbelfabrik. According to various sources, this is model 33A, a compact and lightly constructed armchair that possesses much of the recognizable look of the more well-known, larger and heavier Matthes model 33. Where model 33 impresses with its more pronounced, robust appearance, this version distinguishes itself precisely through its modest proportions and airy construction. The wooden frame appears refined and slender, while the curved lines and characteristic armrests provide a recognizable Danish silhouette. The combination of the organically shaped woodwork and the soft, upholstered seat and backrest gives the armchair an inviting appearance without the design being heavy or overly present. The frame is made of beech wood and is in good vintage condition. The wood has a characterful patina that fits with the age and use of the furniture, giving the armchair an authentic appearance. The complete upholstery has been renewed, including the filling. A heavy-quality upholstery fabric in a light cream to off-white shade has been chosen, featuring a subtle boucle structure. The rich texture forms a beautiful contrast with the warm wood and gives the armchair a fresh, contemporary look while the original design remains fully appreciated. A atmospheric armchair for those who love Danish Mid Century Modern design but prefer a somewhat more compact and visually lighter piece of furniture. Beautiful as a solitary piece in the living room, next to a reading lamp, or combined with other vintage furniture and natural materials. Country of origin: Sweden.
