Danish Oak Easy Chair with Black Stained Legs, Denmark 1940s
About the Item
Danish Modern, also known as Scandinavian Modern, is a design movement that emerged in the mid-20th century, particularly during the 1940s to 1960s. It originated in Denmark but quickly gained international recognition for its innovative and minimalist approach to furniture and interior design.
This model’s outstanding architectural frame speaks of the mastery of the designer and of the producer. The clear lines of the wood frame contrast beautifully with the golden fabric, and the refined linearity defines the overall aesthetic. The main decorative element is the oak wood frame that frames the upholstered body uniquely.
The movement embraced a minimalist aesthetic, focusing on clean lines, simple forms, and uncluttered designs, which is evident in this easy chair. Danish Modern design was human-centric, aiming to enhance the user's experience and comfort. Ergonomics and practicality were at the forefront of design considerations.

- Frits Henningsen Easy Chairs with Fluted Legs, Denmark, 1940sBy Frits HenningsenLocated in Utrecht, NL‘Danish master cabinetmaker’ or “snedkermester” has become a commonly used term for Danish furniture makers, even though the expression is quite exclusive and only applies to certain craftsmen. Frits Henningsen is justly one of the most renowned master cabinetmakers, with this pair of easy chairs illustrating why. The typical elements of Danish modern furniture, the straight lines, the clear design, had developed with time, starting on the long path from the historical style that was still predominant in the 1920s. Architect and furniture maker, Frits Henningsen had a significant role in paving this path. As an active member of the Cabinetmakers Guild from 1927, he was admired by his peers for the high quality of his craftsmanship. The shape of this chair model shows Henningsen’s opposition to the younger designers in the 1940s who preferred strictly straight lines. Henningsen on the other hand, believed furniture design needed to maintain curvature which contributed to a homely look. These easy chairs were designed in this period and feature the uncompromising designer’s personal...Category
