1960s Minerva Executive Chair Leather Rosewood Torbjørn Afdal

Leather & Rosewood by Torbjorn Afdal

A rare and refined example of Scandinavian executive design, this Vintage Minerva rosewood and leather executive chair for Bruksbo exemplifies the golden age of mid-century craftsmanship. Produced in the 1960s, the chair combines sculptural form with a boardroom-level presence, making it ideal for collectors and connoisseurs of Scandinavian modernism.

Framed in rich Brazilian rosewood, the structure boasts clean, architectural lines and subtly contoured arms, showcasing the warm depth and expressive grain that define the finest examples of mid-century design. The high backrest and generous proportions are upholstered in supple black leather, newly refinished for lasting comfort and elegance. A swivel base with polished steel accents provides functional flexibility without sacrificing style.

Torbjørn Afdal was one of Norway’s most important postwar designers, working extensively with Bruksbo Tegnekontor—one of the country’s leading design firms of the era. His designs, often compared to those of Finn Juhl, are celebrated for their balance of softness and strength, with a strong emphasis on form following function. The Minerva model reflects this ethos: commanding in stature yet understated in aesthetic.

This chair is not only a superb piece of collectable Scandinavian furniture but also a statement in any refined interior—executive office, library, or design-forward home.
