Danish Cabinetmaker Armchair with Beech Legs, Denmark ca 1940s

About the Item

This beautiful Danish cabinetmaker armchair recalls the peak of Danish mid-century modern design. Thanks to its curved shape, this model is exceptionally cosy and elegant. Curved chairs like this are statement pieces in any space, but they can also adapt to a variety of styles thanks to their universal appeal. With its classic shape paired with modern design, its generous size, and fully upholstered body, this chair is outstanding even in comparison to the many beautiful models created in Denmark during the mid-century era. The large, curved design is reminiscent of the Chesterfield style, with rolled arms and a curving back, short feet, and button tufting. This armchair also embodies the concept of "hygge," a Danish term that refers to a sense of cosiness, comfort, and well-being. The chair's design promotes relaxation and contentment, inviting one to sit back and enjoy a moment of peace. Its understated elegance and warm tones create an alluring atmosphere, making it a perfect piece for the purpose of evoking a hyggelig (cosy) environment in any home. The short, stained beech legs add a modern, organic feel, balancing out the voluptuous profile of the armchair. The front legs differ in their angle and shape from the back legs, adding visual interest, while the masterful sense of proportions and the soft upholstery guarantee functionality and comfort. From every single angle, this armchair offers a stunning silhouette and rich texture. Above all, Danish designers believed that design could certainly be used to improve people's lives. This sentiment can be traced in the exquisite materials, the impeccable craftsmanship, and in the elegantly curved and rounded edges. 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.
