About the Item

The Danish mid-century is more than just about design. Today, these pieces belong in the realm of design art, they are truly heirloom pieces. Vintage Scandinavian pieces were produced during the heyday of the 1950s to 1960s, a period of furniture-making that was unprecedented and one which gave the world pieces - like these easy chairs - that are museum-quality rarities today. The carved oak front legs immediately stand out and define the impression of the design. They are even more highlighted against the paired down aesthetic of the rest of the design. In Denmark modernism took a different route than in most other countries; the traditional craft of cabinetmaking played a very important role in Danish Modern. The expert woodworking provides both aesthetic and structural quality, evident in the spindles providing back support and the back legs’ curve. The front legs supporting the armrests are carved in a way that resembles the Baroque style, yet, Scandinavian modernism remains at the core of the design. The scalloped front of the seats adds to the list of subtle ornamentations. Furthermore, the carved back legs ascending to form the backs assure that the chairs are interesting from every single angle. The solid oak is the perfect raw material to bring out these unique shapes and forms complemented by the soft, upholstered cushions. The light bouclé on the seat and back cushions and the armrests is perfect to add textural interest to the otherwise smooth surfaces of these chairs. While there are numerous forms of ornamentation on these easy chairs, yet the design stays coherent. The material and visual quality is maintained throughout the chairs, making them truly timeless. If there is a single common denominator for Danish Modern, it is the quality of the execution, the woodwork and the upholstery. The fact that so much of the original furniture has survived to the present-day bears testimony to the fact that Danish Modern was second to none in craftsmanship.
