A pair of Spider easy chairs designed by Kenneth Bergenblad for DUX Möbel, Sweden, in 1982. The chairs feature the characteristic sculptural metal frames, finished in patinated black metal, supporting dark aubergine-purple leather cushions. The open construction of the frames gives the chairs a light visual presence, while the leather cushions provide a strong contrast to the metal. The Spider design is recognised for its distinctive base and considered combination of materials, making this pair a notable example of Bergenblad’s work for DUX.

Kenneth Bergenblad is a Swedish designer known for furniture that combines practical construction with experimental forms and materials. He studied cabinetmaking before continuing his education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. From 1970 to 1993, Bergenblad worked as a designer and interior architect at DUX, where he developed several recognised pieces, including the Spider lounge chair and chaise longue. His work for DUX is characterised by an interest in ergonomics, structure and the relationship between materials.
