Armchair Trienna 2.0,
originally designed by Carl-Axel Acking and now developed by Verk in consultation with the Acking family.
Trienna is an armchair that has been demonstrating the concept of sustainability for over half a century. The specimens of Trienna that circulate on the second-hand market, with their well thought-out components and choice of materials, have clearly shown how the patina gives the armchairs beautiful individual properties. Previous producers, Nordiska Kompaniet (1957) and Källemo (1989), gave Trienna a chance to age according to her unique circumstances. In 2022 it is Verk’s turn to take the baton and help maintain the quality and continuity of this Swedish furniture classic, and just like 65 years ago, no shortcuts have been taken. The leather, which is the supporting element of the armchair, comes then as now from the Tärnsjö tannery, the wood comes from Sweden and the tenons are visible. By also listening to those who know Trienna best, previous owners and upholsterers, Verk, in consultation with the Acking family, has made two modifications that will ensure an even longer lifespan. The seat is now tensionable so it can be adjusted when stretched, and the stitching in the back has been reinforced to resist wear.
