Upholstered Danish Highback Chair with Stained Beech Legs, Denmark ca 1940s
About the Item
Danish design emerged as a prominent contributor to the Scandinavian design philosophy, with many of the most well-known designers from the mid-20th century hailing from Denmark. The natural world has remained a significant influence in Scandinavian design, with organic shapes and handicrafts highly valued.
This Danish model is a classic design from the 1940s. Scandinavian designers were masters of this type of décor, which is part of why their designs are still loved to this day. This chair exemplifies the clean lines and functional beauty of mid-century Danish furniture. Its high backrest, with an elegantly curved top, adds a touch of sophistication and movement to the overall chair. The deeply curved top of the backrest is playful and decorative but not ostentatious. In contrast, the subtly curved armrests invite relaxation and ease. The edges of the fully upholstered body are rounded, providing a soft, welcoming silhouette that beckons one to sit and unwind. The backrest is gently enveloping and designed to maximise comfort and support. The plush upholstery, in a premium, textured fabric, enhances the chair's inviting appearance and ensures comfort. The front legs have a prism shape, while the back legs assume a straighter rectangular form, contributing to the chair's sturdy construction and elevating its overall elegance. All four are made of solid stained beech wood, adding to the organic look of this chair. The rich wood tones complement the light upholstery, creating a harmonious and balanced design.
This easy chair has a classic, organic shape that conveys a feeling of warmth and hospitality. There is hardly a better choice than mid-century Danish pieces - the unquestionable quality of design, material, and craftsmanship make this model an excellent addition to any space and style. With its cosy mid-century modern aesthetic and material quality, this lounge chair is genuinely soulful and timeless.
