About the Item

This is the Model 48 Armchair designed by Erik Kirkegaard—a Danish modern classic celebrated for its ergonomic design and sculptural form. Crafted in the 1950s, the chair exemplifies the best of mid-century craftsmanship and design sensibility. The chair’s gently curved backrest, which subtly wraps around the sitter, merges seamlessly into elegantly tapered armrests. Its form is both supportive and visually striking, achieving a perfect balance between comfort and minimalism. The solid oak frame features soft organic shaping, which extends to the beautifully crafter backrest with exposed joinery. Upholstered in a soft patinated leather the light tones of the upholstery compliment the rich natural tones of the oak frame. Erik Kirkegaard's attention to the human form is evident in the chair's posture-enhancing contours, making it ideal for dining or occasional use. With its blend of warmth, craftsmanship, and Danish modern elegance, this armchair remains a timeless and functional piece.
