Pair of Easy Chairs Model 'Kolding' by Erik Wørts for IKEA

Erik Wørts was a renowned Scandinavian furniture designer whose creations left a mark on the "Mid-Century Modern" era. He became known particularly for his pioneering collaboration with the Swedish furniture manufacturer IKEA. For this rapidly expanding company, he designed functional, aesthetic, and affordable furniture, which is now highly sought after by collectors and gallery owners worldwide. Erik Wørts created the iconic "Kolding" furniture series in 1962. In reference to the designer's Danish origins, it is named after the Danish port city of Kolding. The pieces from the Kolding series are now among the rarest and most sought-after items from IKEA's early days. These armchairs are made of high-quality teak. The removable cushions are covered in rust-brown leather. The armchairs are in very good condition; the leather shows only slight signs of use.
