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.

Bruno Mathsson is remembered among the best ever to design furniture in what is known as the Scandinavian style. This gentleman not only created enduring living and dining room sets, but was also well regarded as an architect. His most renowned furniture was first released in the mid-1930's. However, many of those styles are still released in both legitimate and illegitimate reproductions.

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 2 easy chair has a very close relative in the Pernilla 69. With their beautiful, organic lines, pillow headrest and optional padded armrests these luxurious chairs envelope you in an ergonomically perfect sitting position. Needless to say, they are extraordinarily comfortable chairs, especially when they are finished in a soft leather.

Once you have seen this wonder by Mathsson, you will not be surprised that the Pernilla 3 is known worldwide for the comfort that it brings. The lounger version of the Pernilla 2 looks great enough that you'll just have to have one, like thousands of other people in Sweden and around the world. In addition, the Pernilla 3 comes with armrests and a pillow headrest for added comfort. To make it even cozier, you can have your Pernilla 3 covered with fine sheepskin from Australia.

During shortages of various materials caused by WWII, the 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.

Mathsson identifies the curves and bows of his chairs with feminine sensibility, so he names his different lines using women's names, such as Pernilla. Both the design of Mathsson's chairs and the organic lines have found favor with critics. In fact, some call a Mathsson chair "the most comfortable chair you could possibly sit in". By combining an ottoman of complementary design with the Pernilla 2 and Pernilla 69 chairs, the resulting shape is much like the Pernilla 3 lounger. Pairing chairs and ottomans allow Mathsson pieces to be used in different ways and unique arrangements with the flexibility Mathsson strove for in his designs.
