Pair of Lounge Chairs in Black Leather and Brushed Aluminium by DUX, Sweden, 1970s

A pair of Swedish lounge chairs in black leather and brushed aluminium, produced by DUX in the 1970s. The design features a flat-bar aluminium frame with gently curved armrests, paired with deep, tufted leather cushions that offer both comfort and a strong visual presence. The matte surface of the brushed aluminium contrasts with the richness of the leather, giving the chairs a balanced and modern expression.

While the designer remains unknown, the chairs relate closely to the modernist seating produced in Scandinavia during the late 1960s and 70s. The flat-bar aluminium structure recalls work by designers such as Karl-Erik Ekselius for JOC Vetlanda and Eric Sigfrid Persson for Gärsnäs. This combination of robust metal frames with generous leather cushions reflects the era’s interest in creating durable, functional lounge furniture with a clear modernist attitude.

With their mix of industrial clarity and inviting comfort, the chairs work well in both contemporary and vintage interiors. Their low profile and sculptural frames make them excellent statement pieces for living rooms, studies or lounge areas.
