    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.

Combined with careful hand crafting, furniture of the highest quality was produced.
