About the Item
A masterpiece of Danish modern design, this Kristian Vedel MODUS armchair exemplifies the perfect marriage of form and function. Designed by the acclaimed architect and industrial designer Kristian Vedel, this iconic piece showcases his mastery of ergonomic sculpting and understated elegance.

Recently reupholstered in luxurious black leather, the seat and backrest offer sumptuous comfort while enhancing the chair’s timeless sophistication. The rich leather contrasts beautifully with the warm teak, creating a striking yet harmonious aesthetic.
As a celebrated figure in mid-century Danish design, Vedel created furniture that was both visually arresting and deeply functional. The MODUS armchair remains a sought-after collector’s piece, prized for its sculptural presence and enduring craftsmanship.
