Danish Cabinetmaker Papercord Chair, Denmark 20th Century
About the Item
In mid-century Danish design, timeless elegance and craftsmanship dominated the era, combined with the use of organic materials such as wood and papercord. Crafted from the warm brown hues of wood, this armchair showcases the inherent beauty, versatility, and timeless charm of handmade furniture defined by highly skilled craftsmanship.
Wood’s natural lustre and ability to develop a beautiful patina over time make it an ideal material for crafting enduring and appealing pieces. This armchair boasts gracefully curved armrests and linear back slats, showcasing the artisan's keen attention to form and detail. The curved arms not only provide a comfortable resting surface, but also contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of the chair. The backrest, with its gentle curve, adds a touch of individual character and refinement to the design. Each element of the chair reflects the organic sensibility that defined Danish mid-century cabinetmakers’ designs, where form and function seamlessly converged. However, what truly injects these chairs with their organic appeal is their seats woven from papercord. This choice of material adds an organic and tactile dimension to the design. Papercord, made from twisted and woven paper fibres, offers a natural and eco-friendly alternative to traditional seating materials. Its rich texture and earthy tones complement the warmth of the wood, creating a harmonious balance in both visual and tactile aspects. The meticulous craftsmanship of the joinery further enhances the chairs' allure; impeccably constructed with no visible screws, the seamless connections speak volumes about the artisan's dedication to precision and quality. The absence of visible hardware not only contributes to the chair’s aesthetic purity, but also underscores the skilled craftsmanship that went into its creation.
This Danish wooden armchair embodies the essence of mid-century design, where natural materials, graceful forms, and meticulous craftsmanship come together. The marriage of wood and woven papercord not only highlights the organic side of this design but also ensures that the chair remains not just functional, but also an enduring heirloom piece.

Sculptural Patinated Oak Spinning Chair, Europe Ca Early 20th Century
Located in Utrecht, NL
The ‘spinning chair’, this historic type of seating has had numerous modern interpretations across Europe, however, most preserved the main functional characteristics: solid wood, enduring, high quality craftsmanship, a tall, straight back for good posture and freedom of movement.
The art of spinning yarn is thousands of years old, but the spinning wheel as we know it is estimated to have arrived in Europe around the middle of the 13th century and along with it came the three or four-legged spinning chair. The backs were often hand carved with various motifs or fantasy creatures making each one unique and individual. As this oak chair shows, the Modernist movement influenced the traditional design by removing most of the intricate decorative elements, and substituting them with a more streamlined structure. The carved high back and octagonal seat...

Late 20th Century Anglo-Chinese Chairs with Caned Seats, Europe 1980s
Located in Utrecht, NL
The influence of Chinese design on the West has been subtle, almost by osmosis, but we can see references in much of western art and design. Much of Europe has long had a magpie tradition of taking from the different cultures it has come into contact with in its past, furniture being no exception.
Similar to European Chinoiseries, Britain formulated an Anglo-Chinese style that copied Chinese models yet adhered to British fashions affecting furniture design. The resulting aesthetic is quite unique and has evolved much in the past decades as demonstrated by these armchairs. These solid, exotic wood chairs...
