What is the perfect chair? If you ask Scandinavian modern designers, it must be a marriage of form and function where both partners value each other as equals. This has to be the winning formula as some of the most iconic chairs hail from the glory days of Scandinavian Modern<\/a> design when furniture makers such as <\/span>Hans J. Wegner<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Verner Panton<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Arne Jacobsen<\/span><\/i> (to name a few) conceptualised the majority of pieces we find irresistible today. Just take a close look at the most admired homes on Instagram, and you’ll soon recognise many of the Scandinavian modern chairs<\/a> we’ll be guiding you through below.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will Scandinavian chair icons ever go out of style? We doubt it. A timeless aesthetic and superior craftsmanship promise plenty more trips around the sun for these vintage, culture-shaping beauties, so let’s do our homework and learn more about 14 of the most significant Scandinavian chair designs of all time.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Wishbone Chair By Hans J. Wegner<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

The<\/span> Wishbone<\/span><\/i> or <\/span>Y chair <\/span><\/i>is probably the most famous design of Hans J. Wegner. Created for Carl Hansen in 1949, the <\/span>Wishbone Chair<\/span><\/i> has been in continuous production for more than half a century. <\/span><\/p>\n

The inspiration for the <\/span>Wishbone Chair<\/span><\/i> comes from classic portraits of Danish merchants sitting in Ming chairs. A fine example of Wegner\u2019s maxim that \u201c<\/span>a chair is to have no backside. It should be beautiful from all sides and angles<\/span><\/i>\u201d, the <\/span>Wishbone Chair<\/span><\/i> is not only a pleasure to use but also pretty astonishing to look at. And a challenge to manufacture, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. <\/b>S Chair by Verner Panton<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Sensual curves and a pioneering single-form single-material design pushed the <\/span>Panton S Chair<\/span><\/i> to become one of the most groundbreaking chairs of all time. Created back in the \u201860s, the futuristic <\/span>Panton S Chair<\/span><\/i> defined the vibrant colour scheme of the era and eventually found its place in almost all modern interior styles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perfect for a dining room or a study, the Panton S chair is engineered to be used anywhere, anytime. Light and stackable – just perfect for small space living.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. <\/b>Egg Chair by Arne Jacobsen<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Everyone knows this one, right? A modernist interpretation of a traditional armchair, the <\/span>Egg<\/span><\/i> is one of those pieces everyone finds irresistible. It was designed by the great architect Arne Jacobsen in 1958 as part of a large project for the Radisson SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen and has since become a star of Scandinavian furniture design.<\/span><\/p>\n

A supreme study in simplicity and grace, the <\/span>Egg Chair<\/span><\/i> remains to be one of the sexiest armchairs ever produced. Its cocoon-like design offers privacy and makes it a perfect fit for open spaces like lofts and libraries.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. <\/b>Tulip Chair by Eero Saarinen<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Image: Tulip Swivel chairs by Eero Saarinen. Vinterior Seller: Novac Vintage<\/p>\n

One of the widely recognized symbols of the atomic age, Saarinen\u2019s <\/span>Tulip chair<\/span><\/i> made history as the first one-legged chair ever to be manufactured. This funky pedestal design dates back to 1956 and was meant to be used with a matching dining table. The <\/span>Tulip Chair<\/span><\/i> is every minimalist\u2019s dream and looks best next to a subtle match that allows it to take all the looks.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. <\/b>Model 60 Stool by Alvar Aalto<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

One of the most cherished products in the history of furniture design, the <\/span>Model 60 Stool <\/span><\/i>by Alvar Aalto packs its superior practicality in the most simplistic of forms. This three-legged birch stool can serve as a seat, a side table, a storage or a display surface, and can easily be stacked in a spiralling structure to save space. Thanks to its well-thought L-legs, the <\/span>Model 60 Stool<\/span><\/i> goes away without a complicated supportive framework as the legs can be mounted directly to the underside of the seat.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. <\/b>Shell Chair by Hans J. Wegner<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Image: Shell chair by Hans J. Wegner. Vinterior Seller: Splendid Antiques<\/a><\/p>\n

This beautiful wing-like seat is an art piece designed to interact with its environment. It was created back in 1963, but since it was so ahead of its time, it wasn\u2019t before the end of the twentieth century that it finally got the recognition it deserves.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. <\/b>Swan Chair by Arne Jacobsen<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Image: A pair of Swan chairs by Arne Jacobsen. Vinterior Seller: Stowaway London<\/a><\/p>\n

Designed for the same hotel commission as the <\/span>Egg Chair<\/span><\/i>, the <\/span>Swan<\/span><\/i> shows an equally superb aesthetic without compromising on practicality. This modern Scandinavian goddess is over 60 years old and still feels as fresh as it was on the day when it was first introduced.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. <\/b>Model 42 Chair by Kai Kristiansen<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Image: A set of Model 42 dining chairs by Kai Kristiansen. Vinterior Seller: House of M\u00f8bel<\/a><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Model 42 Chair<\/span><\/i> is undoubtedly one of the most significant sculptural masterpieces of Scandinavian Modern. Refined enough to become a hero piece even in the most exquisite of interiors, the <\/span>Model 42 Chair<\/span><\/i> is designed to suit everyone\u2019s taste. <\/span><\/p>\n

Find out <\/span>more about Kai Kristiansen<\/a> – one of the most talented Scandinavian furniture designers of all time.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. <\/b>\u201cThe Chair\u201d by Hans J. Wegner<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Image: A set of two “The Chairs” by Hans J. Wegner. Vinterior Seller: Future Antiques<\/a><\/p>\n

Designed in 1949 by Hans Wegner, this masterpiece in solid teak became a furniture star after it appeared in the very first televised presidential debate in the history of the USA. Both J.F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon were sitting in <\/span>The Chairs<\/span><\/i> during the event which made this streamlined round chair not just a symbol of good taste, but power too.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. The Globe Chair by Eero Aarnio<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Image: The Globe chair by Eero Aarnio. Vinterior Seller: 1st Modern<\/a><\/p>\n

The Globe<\/span><\/i> or\u00a0<\/span>Ball Chair<\/span><\/i> was invented in 1963 by Eero Aarnio. Even with half a century behind its back, this unconventional, playfully relaxed chair still feels a bit futuristic today. It is very cosy and snug, just perfect for isolating yourself from wondering eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

11. <\/b>CH25 Lounge Chair by Hans J. Wegner<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Image: CH25 lounge chair by Hans J. Wegner. Vinterior Seller: Galerie Mobler<\/a><\/p>\n

The Wegner <\/span>CH25 Easy Chair <\/span><\/i>dates from 1950, yet it\u2019s still a sought-after collectable in many modern Scandinavian-style<\/a> homes. Those who appreciate an organic aesthetic feel fond of this casual, but a very elegant chair. Made of solid ash and handmade paper rattan, the <\/span>Easy Chair<\/span><\/i> is just too pretty to fall out of grace.<\/span><\/p>\n

12. <\/b>Papa Bear Chair by Hans J. Wegner<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Image: Papa Bear armchair by Hans J. Wegner. Vinterior Seller: Dagmar<\/a><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Papa Bear Chair<\/span><\/i> (also known as the <\/span>Teddy Bear<\/span><\/i>) got its name after its embracing form. The very look at its Mid-century curves gives off a feel of an ultimate lounge, but the real experience is just beyond explicable. It just begs to be sat in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

13. <\/b>Grand Prix Chair by Arne Jacobsen<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Image: Set of Grand Prix chairs by Arne Jacobsen. Vinterior Seller: Antique Modern Mix<\/a><\/p>\n

Designed back in 1957 as <\/span>Model 3130 Chair<\/span><\/i>, this ambitious design got its more catchy moniker after it won the Grand Prix at the Triennale in Milan. The unusual shape of the backrest is tailored to the human body, so the chair is not only interesting to look at but surprisingly comfortable too.<\/span><\/p>\n

14. <\/b>Series 7 Chair by Arne Jacobsen<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n
