Globe Garden" design armchair by Peter Opsvik - Stokke publisher, 1980s
A superb sculptural armchair by Peter Opsvik for Stokke (Norway), this model is emblematic of Scandinavian design in the 1980s.
Structure in black painted wood, seat and spherical elements in brightly colored stretched fabric: blue, red and yellow, elegantly echoing Piet Mondrian's famous primary colors.
Both playful and ergonomic, this armchair perfectly illustrates the Norwegian designer's quest for balance, movement and bodily freedom.
The model, nicknamed "Globe Garden", is distinguished by its organic silhouette and spherical volumes evoking a set of planets.
A veritable icon of postmodern furniture, it lies at the crossroads of functional design and contemporary sculpture.
