Four pieces of ash create an open wooden structure, while canvas, leather belts and armrests are stretched between them with almost nothing concealed. It carries something of the safari chair, something of campaign furniture, and something unmistakably Swedish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNorell designed Scirocco in the 1960s, taking the romance of furniture made for travel and translating it into a remarkably relaxed way of living. The canvas gives, the leather holds tension, and the wooden frame remains completely legible beneath it all. There is a sense of somewhere warmer and further away in the chair — an object made in Sweden that somehow carries the atmosphere of an open landscape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigner\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArne Norell (1917–1971) belonged to Scandinavian modernism, but never seemed entirely contained by it. His furniture was softer, more adventurous and often more sensual than the strict functionalism surrounding him, bringing leather, exposed structure and an almost nomadic quality into the Nordic interior.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter establishing his own company in 1954, Norell developed a remarkably personal collection of furniture. He allowed materials to remain visible and construction to become part of the experience, creating chairs that feel as compelling from behind as they do from the front. Scirocco became one of the purest expressions of that world — relaxed, tactile and built around the simple pleasure of sitting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArne Norell founded his own furniture company in Sweden in 1954, giving him the freedom to develop designs in unusually close dialogue with their production. Wood, leather, canvas and carefully resolved connections became recurring elements in a collection shaped as much by craftsmanship as by imagination.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScirocco emerged from this environment in the 1960s and became one of Norell's defining designs. The company continued after his death, preserving a body of work whose material honesty and distinctive sense of freedom still feel remarkably contemporary.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe solid ash frame and canvas seating remain original and are preserved in excellent vintage condition.
