About the Item

Presenting an important and rare Model 107 Chair, designed by Viggo Boesen for Slagelse Mobelvaerk – an iconic masterpiece embodying the essence of early Danish Modern design. Dating back to the 1940's, the Model 107 Chair holds a significant place in the annals of Danish design history. Viggo Boesen, a prominent figure in the Scandinavian design movement, was celebrated for his ability to infuse comfort and organic forms into his creations. The chair's distinctive silhouette - with its chunky, scalloped back and daring, curved arms - showcases the period's departure from ornate styles, embracing simplicity and functionality - two hallmarks of Danish Modernism. Furthermore, this chair reflects the Post-War era's desire for modern living, where sleek lines and practicality took precedence. Drawing from the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne movements, the design employs dramatic curves and layered geometric forms to create unparalleled drama with its shadow and line. Constructed with arms and legs made of beech wood, this example is finished in a rich mahogany stain which enhances the natural grain, creating a warm and inviting aesthetic which pays homage to traditional Scandinavian craftsmanship. The upholstery, a luxurious and versatile taupe wool, is adorned with elegant beige piped trim, adding a touch of sophistication to the chair's overall design. As a vintage piece with a storied past, the Model 107 Chair encapsulates the most transformative period in design history. It stands as a symbol of innovation, comfort, and the enduring appeal of Scandinavian aesthetics. Whether as a collector's item or a functional piece in a modern interior, this chair is a celebration of the timeless beauty that continues to define Danish Modern design.
