Pair of Upholstered Easy Chairs With Stained Beech Legs, Denmark ca 1940s

About the Item

Danish Modern designers are the undisputed masters of mid-century modern chair design. As this pair shows, their furniture generally united form and function; in every design, they placed the highest demands on comfort and ergonomics. Easy chairs – umbrella term for typically upholstered, comfortable chairs - in particular are expected to provide a design and level of comfort that assures relaxation. This is achieved by the slightly raised seats and bent backrests that guarantee these qualities. This set of easy chair are fully upholstered in a luxurious beige fabric, epitomizing the essence of comfort. The large, enveloping backrests dictate the shape of these chairs, as they visually form most of the structure. The curvature creates an inviting and open look, with the large seats adding a lot of volume to the design, keeping it grounded and cosy. With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality seating cannot be overstated. There is hardly a better choice than mid-century Danish pieces, such as this lovely pair of easy chairs. Their unquestionable quality of design, material, and craftsmanship makes them timeless additions to any space and style. ‎Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use.
