Vintage Mid-Century Modernist Living Room Set Pallas by Svante Skogh for Asko, 1950s, Set of 2

This spectacular pallas lounge set was designed by the swedish designer svante skogh in 1954 and is a rare example from the repertoire of modernist design. The pallas set was designed for the finnish manufacturer asko and consists of a two-seater sofa and an armchair. With a creative and masterfully crafted wooden structure, this project praises both skogh and asko. This set beautifully combines function and aesthetics, while maintaining an elegant and modern look. The combination of upholstered shell-shaped bodies and carved wooden frame defines this pair. This shows the quality of swedish design and finnish production. The structures are slightly raised forward, which is additionally emphasized by the armrests. Together with the seat cushions, this angle ensures high sitting comfort, a feature that the scandinavian designers paid particular attention to. The clean lines of the birch wood finished in a natural shade contrast beautifully with the bodies upholstered in gray-brown and plum colored fabric, giving this pair an open and very photographic look. The color combination of plum and earthy brown only enhances the visual qualities. The set has been restored in accordance with the art of upholstery and the aesthetics of the production era. The set will be the perfect complement to many arrangements. Svante skogh is a swedish designer who flourished in the 1950s and 1960s.
