Set of 6 Gemla Sweden Armchairs – Sabena Aviation

1. Introduction

Beautiful set of six original Gemla Sweden armchairs, sourced from former Sabena Aviation lounge interiors. These solid Swedish-made chairs combine exceptional craftsmanship, comfort, and timeless contract-grade quality. Rare in this deep purple upholstery version and perfect for dining areas, offices, boutique hotels, or creative interiors.

2. Appearance & Functionality

The chairs feature a curved black beechwood frame paired with rich purple upholstery, giving them a refined and professional look. As authentic ex-aviation lounge seating, they show paint patina throughout the frames, adding character and a true vintage feel. Structurally strong and designed for high-use environments, offering excellent comfort and stability.

The patina can be preserved as part of the aesthetic or refinished if a cleaner look is preferred.
