Description
A statement lounge chair that’s low, laidback and masculine, it originates from 1970s Sweden, designed by Ebbe Gehl and Soren Nissen for renowned maker, Jeki Mobler Bramming. The chunky, tubular, modernist frame in stained solid beech looks grand with the deep chocolate brown leather. And comfort is as important as the good looks here. From the tilt (which can be adjusted) to the contoured back to the plump cushions to the generous proportions, this is an indulgent seat. It’s rare to find a chair like this in such good condition – just light signs of wear and tear adding to its aged, vintage appeal in our view.
This original, vintage chair is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good – very good, used condition. We have given the chair a thorough clean, applying a natural beeswax polish to the wooden frame and nourishing leather cleaner to the cushion. It is comprised of a single, three-part sectioned cushion, moored in place with Velcro at the top and poppers in the bottom back, however, as shown in our photos, the corresponding poppers on the cushion are worn and no longer functional. This has no bearing on the chair or cushion – the cushion stays firmly in position regardless and the missing poppers and straps are unseen. Other than this, the leather cushion is in very good order. The leather is soft, supple with securely attached buttons, working zips and plump inners. The leather arm rest slings are in good order too with just one minor blemish shown in our photos. There are wrinkles and surface marks here and there on the leather which you can see in our photos but this is very part of aged leather’s appeal. The canvas and suede back panels underneath the cushions and at the back are in good order. There are some light marks here and there from use and some wear along the top back edge, where it has rubbed against a wall. There is a working mechanism on each chair that raises the tilt. There are two positions. The dark stained wooden frame is solid and stable with minor scuffs and marks to the finish – again, please refer to our photos. Overall this is minor and doesn’t detract from its good looks. There is no maker’s label but this is very fine quality, well-documented chair that we attribute with confidence to Jeki, designed by Ebbe Gehl and Soren Nissen, and made in the seventies. If you have any queries at all or wish to view this chair, do get in touch.

Cancellations
We offer free cancellations and full refund for orders cancelled before dispatching. View full policy.
Returns
We have a 14 days returns guarantee for orders within the UK and European Union. View full policy.
We can arrange fast delivery with experienced delivery partners who cover most of the UK mainland that we have worked with for many years. We have a weekly collection of sold pieces, usually every Thursday, and onward delivery to our customers follows 1-5 days after this, depending on the delivery address. They are reliable and insured but their service does require a little flexibility as they work to set routes. They will confirm a date when they are next in your area and able to deliver. They will then update you directly via text with delivery updates and timings.
Please enquire for Scotland & remote addresses - we can quote separately for this.
Smaller items, such as lamps, are sent via DPD to UK mainland locations and the price is quoted in the description for this service. Tracking information is provided and this is a Mon-Fri delivery service.
You are of course very welcome to collect or arrange your own collection / delivery - just let us know.
Feel free to drop us a message if you'd like to know about delivery dates and options prior to purchase.

Cancellations and Returns
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
We've extended our usual return period for the holidays. Any purchases made in December 2023 on gifting items can be returned up until 31 January 2024.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item’s Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason that they do not want to purchase the Goods before the Goods have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the customer’s specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the costs of delivery are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
Consumers based in the UK and European Union can request to return the Goods on Vinterior up to 14 days after the Goods have been received. Once accepted, the buyer is in charge of the shipment and should organise it as soon as possible (except in the case of a return of faulty Goods).
To initiate a return, the Customer must click on Create a return on the order page on the Site. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer’s specific requirements.
Additionally, the Customer may not return an item for "inaccurate listing” reason when its dimensions or other characteristics do not fit its requirements. We strongly recommend that buyer measures all access areas prior to making a purchase.
If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
In case of a return, the costs of delivery (i.e., outbound delivery costs when Goods are sent from the Vendor to a Customer) are non-refundable.
The Customer is responsible for organising the return of Goods and for paying delivery costs. Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt and refund the Customer. If an item is returned to the seller damaged, or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund and the seller may have to send it back to you (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged in transportation or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
In case of damage in transit for all items, Vinterior must be informed. Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf the Vendor with delivery company Proovia. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if it has been altered by the Customer in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
