Description

SOLD.

LOCATION- Bayswater, MELBOURNE but this furniture can be transported Australia-wide for a reasonable additional fee- about $240 to get this pair of chairs to SYDNEY.

This FLER Narvik pair has just been re-upholstered. The upholstery is a QUALITY textile weave with nice texture to it- the tone marries in perfectly with the beauty of the timber too.

Background Info and Provenance

This iNVISeDGE description was updated in 2025 when this pair were listed.

A matching vintage PAIR of Narvik chairs produced by FLER in the early-1960’s (designed by Fred Lowen & Ernest Rodeck). This is one of Australia’s best adaptions of a Danish design ever. This design has a beautiful sculptural elegance often seen in Danish furniture but is still different to all the Danish chairs I’ve come across. The best Parker designs from the 1960’s are stylish and beautiful- I think the Narvik design by FLER is at least as good. Pairs of these are getting REALLY hard to get now and have skyrocketed in value particularly since COVID. These have lower backs compared to some of the FLER Narvik armchairs and have two loose cushions sitting on each frame. The later FLER Narvik versions have a more complicated sewing job. And because this design sits at the pinnacle of vintage offerings, they will ALWAYS do well from an investment point of view. I can’t see vintage FLER Narvik pieces losing any value in the future and should only continue appreciating in value at the same rate they have in the past.

The quality is at the top. Look at them after 65 years of use- incredible! This upholstery is NEW- it’s in a nice, neutral tone and would be easy to work into any home. But if you ever need a change, re-upholstery is the easiest possible upholstery job. Simply take the loose existing cushions with new fabric to anyone who knows how to sew. This variety, that has loose cushions sitting on frames, are very practical all round.

And I almost forgot. The comfort of FLER Narvik chairs is excellent. The angles are spot-on for comfort (the back AND seat section are both slanted back slightly to give your back full relaxation- plus the back is curved too). There’s also softness to the comfort because of the plushness of the cushions.

Investing in vintage items such as FLER Narvik lounges is a great way to go. When lounge chairs look like this after 65 years of use, you’re guaranteed of the quality and durability you’re buying. There are very few better ways to invest in your home. By valuing and recycling vintage design you’re helping to reduce landfill and protect our environment for future generations.
