Like a modern look?

More urban, less rural. Modern-styled armchairs mix influences from the 20th century and today. Straight lines and geometric shapes are common. Sophisticated, innovative designs show obvious functions and attention to detail.

More elements of modern style

Mixed materials like metals (lacquered in solid colours, chrome) and blended fabrics (cotton, velvet, polyester) create playful or dramatic contrasts. Solid and coordinated colours dominate. Patterns are rich, subtle and a bit complex. Light structures – thin legs, flat surfaces – add a less-is-more feel.

Two boxy, modern-styled EKERÖ armchairs in black leather-like fabric sit by a round tray table in a pink room.
