    According to Josef Frank the modern home should be a place for rest and comfort. Armchair 2080 has therefore carefully executed upholstery with a double spring system, which gives the user a pleasant comfort. The armchair has Josef Frank’s typical rounded armrests but also the more unusual movable back cushion. Armchair 2080 was accompanied by a sofa with the same number in the interior of Kjell Beijer’s office in the end of the 1940s.

    Price excluding fabric.

    Josef Frank grew up in Vienna and studied architecture at Technische Hochschule (the Vienna University of Technology) in 1903 – 1908. In the 1920s he designed housing estates and large residential blocks built around common courtyards in a Vienna with severe housing shortages. In 1925, he founded the Haus & Garten interior firm together with architect colleague Oskar Wlach. Svenskt Tenn hired Josef Frank in 1934 and just a few years later he and Estrid Ericson made their international breakthrough. Although he was already 50 when he left the burgeoning Nazism in Vienna for Sweden, Frank is considered one of Sweden’s most important designers. Read more

  • Care instructions

    All types of feather cushions need to be puffed up to maintain their resilience. Shake and puff up the cushions regularly and knead them to loosen up any feather bunches.

    The legs are screwed on and may need to be tightened from time to time. For additional protection we recommend ordering extra covers for the armrests.
