Editor's Note

These Swedish Art Deco armchairs bring a sculptural presence to any sophisticated living space or cozy reading nook. The striking bentwood curves of the arms contrast beautifully with the stepped architectural profile of the backrests. To style them, pair the warm elm wood with a textured bouclé sofa or a minimalist marble side table to highlight the natural grain. Balance the low-slung proportions by placing them near a tall floor lamp or large-scale artwork to draw the eye upward. For maintenance, wipe the wood surfaces with a soft dry cloth.
