There are many styles of furniture (möbler) making and these can range from the very ornate to the purely functional and practical such as office furniture and school room furniture. Some styles belong very much to a particular designer or to a period or time or even an area of origin. The use of wood has been the mainstay in the creation of furniture that is art as well as utilitarian, and craftsmen in Scandinavia have excelled in its use.

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 famous furniture designs. Mathsson focused on creating the most comfortable furniture shapes. He once went out and sat in the snow so that he could examine the shape his natural sitting position left and, thereby, study the best shape to accommodate that sitting position. The Pernilla 3 chair exemplifies his findings.

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.

Once you've had the chance to see Mathsson's masterpiece, the Pernilla 3, you'll be able to tell that it's the ultimate in comfort with its pillow headrest and armrests. People who thought the Pernilla 2 was stylish totally love the Pernilla 3 lounger version. Once you've tried it, you'll be like a multitude of others in both Sweden and abroad who have had to have one for their own. Another option is available that will provide another level of comfort - you can have your Pernilla 3 covered with quality Australian sheep skin.

During shortages of various materials caused by WWII, the Bruno Mathsson Pernilla chairs were made with very unique materials for the seat and back webbings, such as jute and even woven paper. The frames are bentwood and the seating can be finished with anything from woven webbing to luxurious leathers. One of the beauties of the Pernilla chair range is that it can be constructed in so many different materials and it maintains its comfort due to the impeccable ergonomics of the design.

Pernilla chairs seem to possess a feminine sensibility, and this is symbolized in the chair's female name. The chair has been called "the most comfortable chair you could possibly sit in", and its beautiful organic lines have also been widely praised. Pernilla 2 and 69 chairs are often combined with ottomans; the resulting design configuration closely resembles that of the Pernilla 3 lounger. Mathsson liked to create designs that had a great deal of flexibility, and the ability to put together chairs and ottomans for different arrangements and use options is typical of his work.
