Danish Upholstered Easy Chair with Beech Legs, Denmark 1940s

About the Item

This Danish-made easy chair is characterized by the best qualities of Danish mid-century design. From the restrained aesthetic to the elegant pairing of materials, this upholstered model is the perfect example of how pairing Danish design, the work of a cabinetmaker, and luxurious upholstery creates exceptional pieces. The design features beautifully patinated and carved beech legs supporting the fully upholstered body. The rounded, curving shape of the arm- and backrest creates a welcoming, “homey” but stylish look that is a signature characteristic of Danish Modernism. The top line of the chair appears to be curling outwards, which provides a touch of playfulness. The back is lightly bent and adorned with five cross stitches arranged in two parallel lines, a small but defining visual detail that distinguishes this chair. Like the back, the back legs are also bent to create the “welcoming” look. The Danish design idiom was centred on warm woods, quality fabrics and gentle yet robust support for the spine - qualities that engender contentment and well-being, a defining characteristic of Danish culture. This chair further illustrates how modernist design can be warm and cosy despite its reputation of often cold simplicity. The elegant light bouclé upholstery highlights the beautiful beech wood legs thanks to its rich texture. With a classic look, storied design and solid quality, this easy chair is an early playful and stylish evidence of why mid-century Danish design is beloved and coveted to this day.‎‎‎ Condition: In good vintage condition.

Frits Henningsen Easy Chairs with Fluted Legs, Denmark, 1940s

By Frits Henningsen

Located 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...
