Scandinavian Modern Dining Chairs Oak & Cane by Danish Cabinetmaker, 1940s

About the Item

Beautiful set of 4 Danish Modern dining chairs in patinated oak & cane. The chairs were made in Denmark in the 1940s by a Danish cabinetmaker in the tradition of Kaare Klint. They are made from beautiful Scandinavian solid oak and the backs are decorated with hand woven cane. Upholstered in light blue striped Savak wool. Danish modern is a style of minimalist furniture and housewares from Denmark associated with the Danish design movement. In the 1920s, Kaare Klint embraced the principles of Bauhaus modernism in furniture design, creating clean, pure lines based on an understanding of classical furniture craftsmanship coupled with careful research into materials, proportions, and the requirements of the human body. Designers such as Arne Jacobsen and Hans J. Wegner helped bring about a thriving furniture industry from the 1940s to the 1960s. Adopting mass-production techniques and concentrating on form rather than just function, Finn Juhl contributed to the style's success. Additionally, minimalist Danish housewares such as cutlery and trays of teak and stainless steel and dinnerware such as those produced in Denmark for Dansk International Designs in its early years, expanded the Danish modern aesthetic beyond furniture.[citation needed]
