This impressive pair of mid-century dining chairs is representative of the fundamental axioms of Scandinavian design that revolve around quality and functionality and pairs it with a distinctive design. These chairs belong to Kjærnulf’s so-called “razorblade” designs as they have the characteristic backrests with a shape that is similar to its namesake, a razorblade. Each chair is made of solid oak with a beautiful grain and colour. The style and shape of the frames recall an almost Baroque design, with a strong angular structure featuring straight as well as sculpted curved edges. The design combines this with the organicity of traditional Scandinavian style, and as a result, this set has a visually arresting and individual aesthetic. The stand-out visual appeal is provided by the slender backrests that have the famous razorblade-shape with additional sculpted parts on the top and bottom. The peculiar shapes continue in the curved, wide armrests, ribbed lower seat and the carved front legs that are connected to the back legs with straight stretchers. This latter element shows that while the chairs’ carved and sculpted elements were designed as a form of ornamentation, functionality and structural stability were of equal importance. The details, such as the impeccable joinery and woodworking reveal the high quality craftsmanship of the Danish manufacturer, Nyrup Møbelfabrik...

Featuring Danish designer, Henning Kjærnulf’s distinctive scallop motif, this sideboard melds seamlessly with any style thanks to its elegant sense of whimsy. The oak form is elemental, enhanced by the sculptural carvings. The evolution of mid-century design was a direct consequence of accepting, continuing, and further developing the ideas of the modern movement. This in turn brought about a ‘softer’ version of the modern movement by adopting natural, organic forms. A new aspect was the attitude towards tradition; by interpreting the vernacular craft tradition of the 19th century, modern design acquired a ‘human’ face and turned to wood. In Kjærnulf’s case, the wood of choice was oak, a durable long-lasting material that is the perfect canvas for the intricate carved shapes and details to take form. The functional and decorative elements of the design are treated equally, resulting in a stunning but balanced look. The design features versatile storage solutions, divided into four larger doors with drawers and shelves behind them and four symmetrically arranged drawers on the bottom. Both in- and outside the compartments are full of details that speak of the highest level of craftsmanship and of the functional considerations. The four drawers on the top are lined with a green fabric, while the doors and drawers can be locked with small keys. These small functional elements also serve an aesthetic function besides the carved front and scalloped bottom. The mixture of round and straight shapes is used masterfully, giving depth to the blonde oak. The only thing that is hard to decide in the case of this sideboard is where to look first, as there is no doubt about the aesthetic or material quality.
