The Ekström Lamino armchair is a wonder of Modern Swedish design. Its simple, elegant, curvaceous lines delight the eye and comfort the back. It was designed in 1956 by Yngve Ekström as part of the Modernist furniture movement. In 1999 it was voted "The Best Swedish Furniture Design of the Century" (Den Bästa Svenska Möbler Design) and more recently it won the exclusive and highly sought-after I.M.M. Cologne 2003 award for best design.

The stylish Ekström Lamino is available in gray, brown, white, sand, or basic black which blend perfectly with the natural colors of the oiled wood found in the arms and legs of the chair. With it's sheepskin covering and matched four legged ottoman, the Lamino adds an air of comfort and elegance to any room.

You can select from several different woods, including oiled beech, cherry wood, walnut, oak, oak/teak, or oak. There are also options to select lacquered wood in oak, cherry wood, or walnut. Finally, you may select stained, black beech. The many options offered make this chair especially versatile for any decor and any room of your home.

You may also select a gorgeous, supple leather covering for an extra fee - well worth it for such high quality leather seating. Additional fabrics can be ordered, including Tonus, Canyon, Tonica, Flora, Divina, and Hallingdal. The vast array of options in coverings, woods, and patterns will be appreciated by all potential buyers, who can mix and match coverings and woods to their heart's content.

The Swedish modern style that is shown by the Ekström Lamino chair has been growingly popular recently. This style is shown by pale woods and cloths, elegant and simple lines and curves and emphasis on woods and fabrics. This kind of style can bring a simple and clean look into your spaces. Hardwood flooring, pale curtains, and organized spaces with a few touches of golds and blues will highlight the look of the Ekström Lamino chair.

Whether you have chosen modern Swedish as your decor motif and are looking to add the perfect chair to your collection of modern Swedish furniture, or you are simply looking for an elegant centerpiece for your already existing decor, the Lamino chair is the perfect choice. You can check out various wood and fabric combinations at a store near you, or look online for some high-resolution photos.
