Mathsson Pernilla: Furniture For The Ages

The large range of furniture (möbler) making styles range from simple, practical items such as furniture for the office or school house, up to the ornate and luxurious. There are certain styles which are synonomous with certain designers, or time periods from which they hail, or even the area from which they originate. Wood has been a mainstay material in furniture construction, and it has been used for utilitarian as well as artistic purposes, especially by Scandinavian craftsmen.
Bruno Mathsson was one of the great masters to design furniture in the Scandinavian style. Besides being a crafter of masterfully designed furniture, he was an accomplished architect. His most famous works were made during the thirties and forties and the designs are still produced today. Many imitations and fraudulent copies also exist.
Among Mathsson's most popular designs are the Pernilla 2, an easy chair, and the Pernilla 3, a lounger. Mathsson himself, in an effort to discover the most comfortable and natural shapes for sitting, once sat in the snow to look at the natural shape left behind by his sitting. This excellence in design is well shown in the Pernilla 3 chair.
There are some similarities between the Pernilla 2 and the Pernilla 69. They offer fine lines with a pillow headrest and an option of adding padded arm rests. These are some of the most comfortable chairs you will ever sit in. They are especially comfortable when the chairs are finished in beautiful and soft leather.
Once you've had the chance to see Mathsson's masterpiece, the Pernilla 3, you'll be able to tell that it's the ultimate in comfort with its pillow headrest and armrests. People who thought the Pernilla 2 was stylish totally love the Pernilla 3 lounger version. Once you've tried it, you'll be like a multitude of others in both Sweden and abroad who have had to have one for their own. Another option is available that will provide another level of comfort - you can have your Pernilla 3 covered with quality Australian sheep skin.
During shortages of various materials caused by WWII, the Mathsson Pernilla chairs were made with very unique materials for the seat and back webbings, such as jute and even woven paper. The frames are bentwood and the seating can be finished with anything from woven webbing to luxurious leathers. One of the beauties of the Pernilla chair range is that it can be constructed in so many different materials and it maintains its comfort due to the impeccable ergonomics of the design.
Mathsson Pernilla chairs have a female name like many of his pieces, and he seemed to find a feminine sensibility in the curves and bows of these chairs. Not only is the design lauded for its organic lines but it has been said that it's "the most comfortable chair you could possibly sit in". The Pernilla 2 and Pernilla 69 chair are often paired with ottomans in complimentary designs which give them almost the same shape as the Pernilla 3 lounger. Pairing a chair and ottoman to give different arrangement and use options is characteristic of the flexibility Mathsson loved in his pieces.
