About the Item
The 1940s were a transformative era for furniture design throughout Scandinavia. Around the middle of the 20th century Danish furniture design began blending the streamlined elegance of modernism with the inviting charm of skilled craftsmanship. This period celebrated functionality, comfort, and organic forms by creating pieces that were as practical as they were beautiful.
Danish design from this era embraced soft curves and beautiful textures, perfectly showcased by this armchair and footstool. This pair encapsulates the mid-century modern ethos, standing as a testament of the era’s focus on human-centred design and timeless versatility. This pair features harmonious, seamless curves, breaking the classic angularity of most armchairs, while evoking natural fluidity, through material and colour. At the heart of this armchair’s striking design lie its rounded features, from the wing-back backrest that envelops the sitter in a comforting embrace, to the smoothly curved armrests which enhance the aesthetic and ergonomic qualities. Echoing the chair's shape, the upholstered footstool features similarly rounded edges and an uncomplicated form, underscoring the emphasis on functionality in mid-century modern design. Both pieces are fully upholstered in a luxurious moss-green fabric, which delights the eye thanks to its softness and texture, transforming the pieces into a uniquely charming accent set.
Together, through their inviting tactile richness and functional design, this Danish armchair and its matching footstool form a cosy and luxurious pair that exudes 20th century craftsmanship.

View AllDanish Cabinetmaker Lounge Chair in Wool with Footstool, Denmark, circa 1940s
Located in Utrecht, NL
Danish Mid-Century Modern furniture reflected Scandinavian materials and craftsmanship and mixed them with a modern style, and the period from roughly 1940 through 1960 was a high point for Danish furniture makers. This set shows why.
This particular chair silhouette has been popular since the 1930s, from around the time Flemming Lassen designed the overstuffed easy chair, the “Tired Man”, for The Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Competition in 1935. The curved and organic lines of the design create an elegant silhouette for both the chair and ottoman. The design of this chair is characterized by organic, curved shapes that create a cosy and welcoming sensation. Since the enveloping back forms the arms as well but doesn’t reach all the way to the beginning of the seat, the design is very open and appears light. The gentle lines are highlighted by the soft wool blend upholstery that uniquely covers the entire bodies of the chair and footstool, including the legs as well. As a representation of early modernist seating...
