Rare Antti Nurmesniemi for Palace Hotel Lounge Chair in Black Upholstery

Antti Nurmesniemi for Palace Hotel, Helsinki, lounge chair, leatherette, fabric, lacquered birch, Finland, 1952

In 1952, the distinguished Finnish designer Antti Nurmesniemi conceived this chair exclusively for the Palace Hotel, situated in the city of Helsinki. Simultaneously with the Helsinki Olympics, the Palace Hotel commenced its operations. The building is designed by the accomplished architects Viljo Revell and Keijo Petäjä. The interior is decorated by Antti Nurmesniemi and other notable designers. The chair bears an unconventional form. The shell seat is positioned on a wooden cross-shaped framework. The use of a minimalist color palette, consisting solely of black and white colors, serves to enhance the chair's modern and streamlined appearance.
