About the Item

These chairs are now upholstered in a cream and brown fabric with small geometric design. About Jacob Kjær, (1896-1957) After receiving training in the workshop of his father, who was a furniture maker, Jacob Kjar went to places like Berlin and Paris for further training. As a Snedkermester(1), he exhibited his works in Barcelona World Expo in 1929 and other events, and won many awards as well. Most of his works are characterized by simplicity in design, but, if you look closer, you will notice that their details are elaborately worked out to a surprising degree. He was a first-class furniture maker who made no compromise in his selection of materials, fabrication, structure, and working process. Chairs of Jacob Kjær have excellent design made possible by his knowledge and skills as furniture maker. He used only the finest materials including animal hair in his upholstery. Combined with careful hand crafting, furniture of the highest quality was produced. (1)Snedkermester: a title given to the most excellent furniture makers Additional information regarding Jacob Kjær Based in Copenhagen, Jacob Kjaer created many of his designs in his own workshop. They included the “FN Chair”, first developed in the late 1940s and later used in the United Nations building in New York.
