Pair of Bror Boije ‘Junker’ Armchairs, DUX, Sweden, 1969

A pair of ‘Junker’ armchairs designed by Bror Boije for DUX in 1969. The design features a solid beech frame with cylindrical legs and cross stretchers, combined with sling-like leather armrests that support loose tufted cushions. The beech has a light tone that has mellowed with age, contrasting with the earthy textile upholstery and saddle leather details.

The ‘Junker’ chair marked a shift in late-1960’s Scandinavian design toward more relaxed, low-slung seating and expressive use of natural materials. Bror Boije, active during the 1960’s and 70’s, became known for furniture that combined sculptural clarity with a straightforward, functional approach. DUX, one of Sweden’s leading furniture manufacturers, embraced designers like Boije who explored new forms for modern living while maintaining a high standard of craftsmanship.

Comfortable and inviting, these chairs bring both character and functionality to an interior. Their organic materials and generous cushions make them suitable for living rooms, reading corners, or lounge areas, where they provide both durability and atmosphere.
