Danish Easy Chair with Beech Legs, Denmark 1940s

About the Item

Danish design emerged as a prominent contributor to the Scandinavian design philosophy with many of the designers that are most well-known from the mid-20th century hailing from Denmark. The natural world has remained a significant influence in Scandinavian design, therefore organic shapes and handicraft were highly valued. This early Danish model is a unique and classic design from Denmark. The wavy top of the backrest is playful and decorative, but not ostentatious. Scandinavian designers were masters of this type of décor, which is part of why their designs are still beloved. Appealing in its simplicity, this easy chair has a classic, organic shape that conveys a feeling of warmth and hospitality. The edges of the fully upholstered body are rounded, while the backrest is gently enveloping to maximize the comfortable look. The tapered legs, lightly splayed in the back, are made of solid beech wood, and add to the organic look of this chair. With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality seating cannot be overstated. There is hardly a better choice than mid-century Danish pieces, such as this lovely easy chair. Its unquestionable quality of design, material, and craftsmanship makes this model a timeless addition to any space and style. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chair has been reupholstered recently in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information.
