Stained Beech Easy Chairs in Sheepskin by a Danish Cabinetmaker, Denmark 1940s

About the Item

This pair of mid-century easy chairs revolves around high-quality materials, comfort and the mastery of Danish cabinetmakers. Danish design is a remarkable combination of concern for comfort and materiality melded with a desire for Shaker-like clarity. Most notably, the vintage pieces of the 1940s are an exciting collision of sensuality, usually evidenced in the materials, with the discipline of the design. This pair of easy chairs showcases these characteristics, as well as the desire to keep functionality and comfort at the core of the design. 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. The sculptural armrests complement the rounded edges of the body, and along with the simple, tapered legs, they highlight the beech wood, creating a balance between the materials. The chairs have been recently reupholstered in premium sheepskin, which not only elevates the beauty of the stained beech frame, but also provides a look of elegant cosiness. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The chairs have been reupholstered recently in premium sheepskin. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information. Dimensions: 24.4 in W x 30.9 in D x 36.61 in H; Seat height 15.35 in 62 cm W x 78.5 cm D x 93 cm H; Seat height 39 cm About the Designer: The practical and comfortable designs of Danish cabinetmakers defined mid-20th century modern seating. The Danish Cabinetmakers focused on minimalist design executed by expertly skilled craftsmen. Works from the Danish Cabinet-Makers' Guild is a concept of its own in collectible design. The Cabinet-Makers' Guild began annual exhibitions in 1927 in Copenhagen. The group formed an exhibit showing each year in October the quality furniture made to drawings by gifted architects. The exhibition took place each year, without interruption, for forty years. A number of successful Danish Design collaborations were formed during this time between cabinetmakers and architects. Danish Modernism has influenced Scandinavian furniture to a great degree, defined by minimalism, simplicity, and functionality. The muted colours and gentle designs make Danish mid-century furniture an ideal addition to contemporary living spaces. Additionally, master cabinetmakers were highly aware of body proportions, prioritizing comfort just as much as the visual qualities. The works of master cabinetmakers – such as this chair – are of the highest quality, both in terms of materials and craftsmanship. Cabinetmakers take the art of working with wood one step further, and focus on the finer details of what can be created with the material. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that numerous master cabinetmakers are part of the renowned Danish Culture Canon (Danish: Kulturkanonen). The canon contains no more than 108 works of cultural excellence, based on works with a useful function and that are still recognizable today. This small armchair is the perfect illustration of Danish design, and the work of a true cabinetmaker. ~H.
