Stained pine chairs in the 'Windsor' style with spindled comb-back and recessed seat. Named after the small island of Utö in the Eastern Stockholm archipelago, Utö means 'outer island.' Designed for the country holiday homes of the Swedish bourgeoisie the chairs encapsulate the folksy charm of the Nordic Arts & Crafts with the boldness of emerging modernism
