The Buck Leather Lounge Chair: A Masterpiece of Raw Sophistication
Originally designed by Erik Buck in 1955 for R. Skovgaard Jensen, the Buck Leather Lounge Chair is a striking fusion of rugged simplicity and Scandinavian elegance. This unique piece of furniture carves out its own design language, seamlessly blending the robust aesthetics of safari-style chairs with the refined traditions of Nordic craftsmanship.
With its clean yet distinct expression, the chair features a meticulously crafted oak frame that serves as the perfect foundation. Two thick-cut leather panels are mounted at the back, secured by three heavy-duty brass screws—deliberately left visible as an integral element of the design. The leather seat wraps gracefully around the sides, fastened with three 50mm brass buckles that echo the strength of harnesses.
Balancing sharp, structured lines with soft, inviting textures, the Buck Leather Lounge Chair embodies a harmonious interplay of contrast, making it as timeless as it is sophisticated.

Erik Buck
His designs carried the form, of what is called "The Modern Scandinavian Style". Like many of the well known contemporary Danish designers, Buck’s trademarks was “organic, functional and aesthetic” furniture made by master craftsmen in Danish oak and birch but also even more exotic materials like Teak and Palisander. His breakthrough was "Model 49" which originally came out in 1949. An elegant dining chair that now is relaunched as SJ49 or "Jazz" along with the "Captains Chair" which was launched in 1955. Buck died in 1981. His designs have long been vintage bestsellers and are now available in genuine replicas.
Buck first found success with his Model 49 chair(1949). The chair, which is produced in both carver and dining chair styles, features a curved “floating” seat and a classic Scandinavian modern aesthetic. Arguably his most famous design, the Model 61 barstool (1961) has a typically Scandinavian base with organically sculpted lines. Many of Buck’s designs are named after the year in which they were conceived, especially those produced by the cabinetmaker and furniture manufacture Oddense Maskinsnedkeri. Oddense was renamed O.D. Møbler in the late 1960s or early ‘70s, which is reflected on the labels of later Model 61 productions.
Other designs by Buch include the Captain’s Chair (1955) for Ørum Møbler, Model 310 dining chair for Chr. Christiansen (1960s), and a t-shaped rosewood bar stool for Dyrlund (1960s).
It is believed that Buck passed away in 1973, though some sources state 1982. Little is known of his personal life, but his professional legacy remains as his designs continue to be appreciated on the vintage market for their high-quality materials, solid craftsmanship, and Scandinavian aesthetic.
