Swedish ‘Jetson 66’ Lounge Chair By Bruno Mathsson For Dux 1966 Mid Century Vintage Retro MCM

The ‘Jetson 66’ swivel lounge designed by Bruno Mathsson for Dux Sweden in 1966.

Jetson is an icon of Swedish furniture design. Bruno Mathsson spent three years working on this futuristic lounge chair, which takes its name from the American TV series.

The result was unveiled at an exhibition at Nordiska Galleriet in Stockholm in 1969 and it was a resounding success. Jetson is a milestone in Bruno Mathsson’s production program and it’s had many imitators. A bowl-shaped seat and a high ergonomically-designed back with headrest. A base with a unique memory function, meaning the chair rotates back to its original position.

A chromed steel frame, stretched red canvas seat covered with a cushion upholstered in red leather and red canvas, a swivel solid steel chrome-plated base. It’s fabric and upholstery is original.

Bruno Mathsson (1907–1988) is a Swedish designer, architect and cabinetmaker. He is one of the pioneers of the Swedish design and has a great reputation, especially for his organic style.

Dux Manufactory was founded in 1926 by Efraim Ljung. The company gained international recognition when in 1953 Folke Ohlsson went to the United States, and founded Dux Incorporated, as the American version of his Swedish namesake - at the time the largest manufacturer of upholstered furniture in Scandinavia.

Dux has partnered with many leading designers, including Bruno Mathsson, Edward Wormley, Alf Svensson and Sam Larsson. In 1949, the Dux company implemented an idea that Ohlsson patented. Knock-down chair or KD, a term referring to easy flat assembly. This saved Dux space in warehouses and money for transport, and was a concept that became an inspiration for hundreds of other companies - primarily the Swedish brand, IKEA.
