Danish Cabinetmaker Armchair with Patterned Upholstery, Denmark, 1940s
About the Item
This armchair is an elegant and comfortable evidence of the mastery and artistry of the Danish cabinetmakers who defined mid-20th century modern seating. This model is of the highest quality, both in terms of visuals, materials, and craftsmanship.
Designed in the early phase of what we know today as mid-century modern, this armchair is a Danish delicacy, with a unique look. With its classic shape paired with modern design elements, this model combines the best design characteristics of the 1940s. It has a classic shape with soft curves that are essential to the coveted Danish cosiness, hygge. The curvature creates an inviting and open look, enhanced by the premium upholstery that is undoubtedly the main visual feature of this model. The pattern is simple and stylish, playful but elegant. The rings add depth and accentuate the curving lines of the structure. The stained beech feet are a pleasant touch as their warm brown colour nicely contrasts to the soft, light colour of the body, not to mention that they make a long-lasting, rock solid foundation for any chair. The chair’s back legs differ, they are thinner and bent, which is a functional choice, but also a detail that adds visual interest. Master cabinetmakers were highly aware of body proportions, prioritizing comfort just as much as the visual qualities, therefore this chair provides support for the back and great sitting comfort.
Through decades of changes in styles and preferences, the various iterations of what has come to be called Danish Modern have managed to go on “speaking” to consumers, collectors, and design aficionados – and most importantly to users – in rapidly changing cultures. This early Danish mid-century armchair shows why. Even with a classic look, it is unique, with plenty of timeless personality.
