The design features a gently curved, enveloping backrest that flows seamlessly into the armrests, creating a sculptural yet highly inviting silhouette. The compact yet generous proportions make them ideal for both residential and public interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chairs have been newly upholstered in a high-quality cream bouclé fabric, which enhances the rounded architectural form. The tactile surface complements the restrained modernist lines while remaining faithful to the spirit of 1930s interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey stand on short, tapered wooden legs, providing a warm contrast to the soft upholstery and giving the chairs a visually light appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Designer:\u003cbr\u003eElna Kiljander (1889–1959) was one of Finland’s pioneering female architects and designers and a key figure in the development of Finnish functionalism during the 1930s. In addition to her architectural work, she operated the interior design store Koti-Hemmet in Helsinki, through which she designed and retailed furniture and interiors that promoted modern living ideals. The store became an important platform for introducing functionalist aesthetics to Finnish homes, combining practicality, elegance, and carefully considered proportions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurniture connected to Koti-Hemmet remains rare and represents an important chapter in early Finnish modern design history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roomage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57997255541061,"sku":"SE429","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0089\/3740\/6524\/files\/SE429-18.jpg?v=1779096107","url":"https:\/\/roomage.fi\/products\/pair-of-modernist-lounge-chairs-by-elna-kiljander-koti-hemmet-finland-1930s","provider":"Roomage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
