1960 Scandinavian Mid-Century Modern Safari Canvas Chair by Børge Jensen&Sonner

About the Item

Scandinavian mid-century modern furniture is still a beloved style in modern Interiors. The maker Borgen Jenser is one of Scandinavia's celebrated Mid-Century Furniture designers creating beautifully crafted wood furniture. These two 1960 light wood and canvas Safari chairs are Designed by Borgen Jenson and Sonner. These chairs reflect the "perfection in simple design" we so admire in Scandinavian and especially Danish design. This set of chairs also has a clever stacking system that allows them to easily be taken apart. (See our video for a presentation of the disassembly of the chairs). Scandinavian design has made ready-to-assemble furniture "en vogue" and these two safari chairs perfectly represent high-quality design and manufacturing with an easy-to-use and flexible way of handling furniture. These chairs have the minimal and soft appearance we love in Scandinavian mid-century modern furniture but at the same time, they have presents due to their scale and attention to detail in the woodwork and use of materials.
