About the Item

These eye-catching chairs have a lot of personality, recalling different design styles and eras, including the Arts and Crafts movement, the minimalistic pine models of Axel Einar Hjorth’s Lovö series or the Amsterdamse School. Versatile shapes and forms, seamless joinery, and finally, the material itself defines these chairs. The aesthetic medley relies on the latter the most, playing with the different grains and colours of the wood. Uniquely, the full bodies are constructed of wood, where the seats and backs flow naturally as if they were not made from a solid material. This is achieved by the use of individual squares of wood and the highest level of woodworking. This solution also creates a characteristic look as the differently grained and coloured blocks are put next to each other. The legs, arms, and the sides of the backs are composed of a single piece of wood, framing the seats and backrests beautifully. The straight lines of the legs are followed by more curvature on the arms and armrests as well as on the “ears” on the top of the chairs. While there are numerous forms of ornamentation on these armchairs, the design stays coherent thanks to the use of a single material and to the “invisible” joinery techniques. The material and visual quality is maintained throughout the chairs, making them truly timeless. They differ minimally in size, which only adds to their uniqueness, as no two chairs are exactly the same. If there is a single common denominator for 20th century European design, it is the quality of the execution, the woodwork, and the materials. The fact that so much of the original furniture has survived to the present-day bears testimony to the fact that the woodworkers of the era were second to none in craftsmanship.
