Item Description

We are pleased to present the iconic “Contour-Set 327” Lounge Chair, designed by the visionary Alf Svensson for Ljungs Industrier AB, Sweden. A hallmark of mid-century Scandinavian ingenuity, this piece demonstrates Svensson’s unwavering commitment to comfort and organic form. True to its name, the “Contour-Set” is engineered to cradle the body in three distinct adjustable positions. Whether you are reclining with a book, engaging in conversation, or simply enjoying a moment of repose, this chair offers unparalleled support and relaxation. The sculpted silhouette and clean lines make it a sculptural addition to any interior, from a curated modern living room to a minimalist study. This particular example is a collector’s dream, presented in great all-original condition. It retains its authenticity with the original manufacturer’s label firmly affixed to the underside of the seat—a testament to its storied Swedish heritage. The chair retains its original fabric, featuring a delicate white embroidery typical of the period. While this textile is structurally sound, the embroidery has worn through in several places, adding a layer of patina that speaks to its age and history. To ensure this chair lives on for decades to come, we offer two expert pathways: 1. Expert Atelier Restoration: Our experienced craftsmen and women can perform a complete reupholstery in our restoration atelier prior to shipping. With meticulous attention to the original design, we ensure that every piece retains its inherent value and historical integrity. We use only the finest materials to match the period, giving this chair a new lease on life while respecting its original soul. 2. Local Solutions: We understand that logistics matter. We are happy to arrange for a professionally organized reupholstery to be completed locally at your destination, should you prefer.
