Pair of Danish Cabinetmaker Armchairs with Lacquered Walnut Legs, Denmark 1940s

About the Item

“Danish Modern” is a recognised term around the world, standing for the characteristic style of Danish design created during the 20th century. As these lounge chairs show, furniture created in this period is characterised by clarity in design, and extremely high-quality craftsmanship and choice of materials. This pair of armchairs exudes quality and personality from all angles. Their classic shape is formed by the generous seat and embracing back. The large backrests feature tufted buttons and follow the curve of the voluptuous seats, creating an inviting and open look, which is a signature characteristic of Danish Modernism. The tapered, lacquered wood legs prevent the chairs from looking too heavy, while their warm brown colour nicely contrasts the soft, light colour of the bodies. The seats are generously stuffed, while the backs are softly tilted, creating a cosy look that provides great comfort. The element that truly elevates the modern outline of these chairs’ is the upholstery: the light, luxuriously soft fabric is exquisite and pairs with the design’s curves very well. Quality craftsmanship was evidently of optimum importance for the cabinetmaker who created these chairs. ‎Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use.
