About the Item

Oak and fabric armchair no 8 by Helge Sibast, Denmark, 1953. Measures: H 72 cm, D 53 cm, W 55 cm, SH 42 cm Good original condition. Helge Sibast was a Danish furniture designer and manufacturer with a passion for the processing of wood. In his family business "Sibast Furniture" he worked successfully together with the equally famous designer Arne Vodder, who in turn had acquired his art at the renowned Finn Juhl. The wooden furniture from his own company, handmade from a natural intuition, was sold worldwide and some of them were symbols of the country's design history, such as the "Sibast No.8" chair designed in 1953 or the dining room chairs No.7. Helge Sibast's attention was always focused on a simple and functional design, typical of the modernist Danish furniture of the time. Sibast Furniture chairs achieved such worldwide fame that they were even delivered to the "White House". The intensive focus has always been on the quality of the craftsmanship and the best materials, such as the wood of the local beech and oak. Helge Sibast was born in 1908 on the island of Funen in Denmark, the son of a cabinetmaker who passed on his passion to Helge during his apprenticeship with his father. In 1943 he became design and production manager at the now grown furniture factory "Sibast Furniture". The wood furniture manufacturing company managed by the Sibast siblings achieved world fame early on and continues to work to this day, even with the old designs . Helge Sibast was thus one of the highly praised players in the Danish design wave in the 50s and 60s of the 20th century. He died in 1985.
