The range of furniture styles is only limited by the creativity of designers. Some eras have featured highly ornate furniture. Other furniture, such as that used in offices and classrooms, is designed to be practical and functional without a lot of decoration. Some of the styles are identified with a certain designer, time period, or region. Furniture that is both artistic and utilitarian is most often crafted of wood. Scandinavian furniture makers have particularly excelled in the use of wood. One of the great masters to design furniture in the so-called Scandinavian style was Bruno Mathsson. He was a maker of fine furniture designs and a successful architect. Mathsson's most famous furniture was designed in the 1930's and 1940's but the designs are still produced and are widely imitated and even fraudulently copied.
The Pernilla 2 easy chair and Pernilla 3 lounge chair are two of Mathsson's most widely known pieces. To design the most enjoyable furniture designs he sat in the snow and looked at the mold that his body made. He took this mold and designed his furniture with a natural body contour.
The Pernilla 69 and the Pernilla 2 are very close relatives in the chair family tree. Their natural lines pillow headrest and padded arms make these chairs engulf you in a form fitting perfect sitting position. Finished with soft leathers these chairs are unbelievably comfortable.
The Pernilla 3 is equally known for it's comfort levels but that's no surprise once you've seen this Mathsson masterpiece. If you thought the Pernilla 2 had stylish lines the lounger version will grab you instantly. Like many other people both in Sweden and abroad, you'll just have to have one. And if it's comfort you're after you should know that the Pernilla 3 also comes with pillow headrest and armrests. But you also have the option of having it covered in a quality Australian sheepskin for ultimate comfort.
During WWII there were shortages of many materials. Because of this, Bruno Mathsson Pernilla chairs at that time were crafted using unique webbing materials like jute and woven paper. Chair frames are bentwood which can be adapted to all materials from woven webbing to soft, beautiful leathers. The Mathsson Pernilla chair line is so well made that no matter what unique materials are used in its construction, its design will always maintain its comfort.
Pernilla chairs have a feminine sensibility to them, much like their name, with curves and bows. This design is not only noted for its organic lines, but has been given a description by some as 'the most comfortable chair you could possibly sit in'. The Pernilla 2 and 69 designs are generally complemented by an ottoman of similar design, which gives them almost the same shape as the lounger Pernilla 3. Mathsson's designs are known for their flexibility, and the pairing of the chair with an ottoman illustrates that love of flexibility from Mathsson.

What makes the Mathsson Pernilla range of chairs stand out is the variety of materials they are created from. Both the design of Mathsson's chairs (Mathsson fåtölj) and the organic lines have found favor with critics.
