Bengt Ruda Scandinavian Furniture / Scandinavian Vintage / Easy Chair / Bengt Ruda

This is the Triva Chair, a representative work by Swedish designer Bengt Ruda. The frame is made of wood and finished with black lacquer. He was an innovative designer who led Swedish design in the 1950s. This is a very rare piece first released by Nordisk Kompaniet in the early 1950s.
He is also known as a designer for IKEA in its early days.

Although a Scandinavian designer, Ruda was influenced by Italian furniture and created many unique designs. This piece features legs that echo the scissor chairs of Swiss architect/designer Pierre Jeanneret, who was active around the same time.
When you sit down, the gentle recline allows for great relaxation.
(Another chair with different fabric is also available.)

Product / Nordisk Kompaniet

Year / 1950s
Condition / The seat and back have been reupholstered with K?LN fabric from the Danish textile manufacturer Kjellerup Vaeveri after urethane adjustment. The result is a refined and calm atmosphere.
There are minor scratches and paint peeling due to years of use. (Please refer to the images.) There is a slight looseness in the right armrest, but it does not affect normal use. It is in relatively good condition for a vintage item.
(Due to the structure, please refrain from applying strong force to the armrests, as this may cause damage.)
