About the Item

This unique 1940s “Polar” chair is a great representation of the quality and craftsmanship of Danish master cabinetmakers and the immediately recognizable characteristics of Scandinavian design. The slender wooden legs prevent the chair from looking heavy, while their warm brown color nicely contrasts the soft, light color of the body. The welcoming, rounded shape of the voluminous arm- and backrests is a signature characteristic of Danish modernism. The back is lightly bent and have stylish button tufting. The tufting stitches are festooned with five buttons, and along with the fabric, the chair gives a natural, textured look. This chair is ideal to blend a stroke of modernity to any space, with a nod to organic, simple artistry. The upholstery is one of a kind. The chair has recently been reupholstered in a premium wool and alpaca blend. Alpaca hide is unique compared to other types of hide as it is extremely soft. This is due to the quality of the fiber. Alpaca fiber is as soft as cashmere, but has a smoother cuticle that can make the fiber feel even smoother and softer than cashmere. Furthermore, the individual shaft of an alpaca fiber is measurably smoother than that of other natural fibers and has great insulating qualities, providing light yet warm fur. This armchair is the perfect illustration of how the pairing of Danish design, the work of a true cabinetmaker, and luxurious upholstery create exceptional pieces. ~H.
