About the Item

This refined Danish Mid-Century Modern dining or desk chair by Scandinavia Woodworks Co. exemplifies the minimalist elegance of 1970s Scandinavian design. Crafted from solid teak, the chair showcases the wood’s warm, honeyed tones and fine grain, with a gracefully curved backrest and tapered legs that lend an airy, lightweight silhouette. The original speckled gray fabric upholstery, with its subtle texture, complements the teak’s natural beauty while adding a tactile warmth to the piece. The ergonomic backrest and sturdy frame ensure both comfort and durability, making this chair a versatile addition to a dining space, home office, or collector’s curated interior. A testament to Denmark’s legacy of functional craftsmanship, this piece captures the timeless appeal of mid-century design. Scandinavia Woodworks Co. was a Danish furniture manufacturer active during the mid-20th century, known for producing high-quality pieces that embodied the principles of Danish Modern design. Operating primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, the company specialized in crafting furniture from premium woods like teak and oak, focusing on minimalist forms and functional beauty. While not as widely documented as larger firms like J.L. Møller, Scandinavia Woodworks contributed to the global popularity of Scandinavian design by creating durable, aesthetically refined pieces that remain cherished by collectors today. ---Dimensions--- Width: 19.5 in / 49.53 cm Depth: 21 in / 53.34 cm Height: 32.5 in / 82.55 cm Seat Height: 18 in / 45.72 cm This elegant desk / side chair is in 100% original, vintage condition. The solid Burmese teak frame shows only minor nicks and light scratches (the worst of which can be seen in the detail photos provided) but shows no stains, gouges or cracks whatsoever and the teak woodgrains are absolutely stunning in natural light. The original fabric, in a neutral oatmeal, heavy-knit polyester and cotton blend shows only minor discoloration on the seat as well as a thin strip of what appears to be discoloration but is actually a strand of darker thread original to the upholstery (please view in the detail photos provided). This chair is incredibly comfortable, structurally sound and ready for a lifetime more of use. Please view all photos and video provided for details on this chairs current condition.
