Scandinavian Modern Rosewood Dining Chairs by Hans Brattrud, set of Six.

By Hove Möbler, Hans Brattrud

Located in London, GB

Scandinavian Modern Rosewood Dining Chairs by Hans Brattrud, Set of Six, 1958 A distinguished and rare collection of six Scandia Senior high‑back dining chairs, crafted in 1958 by Hans Brattrud for Hove Møbler, Norway. Celebrated as one of the most exceptional Scandinavian Modern designs from the post‑war era, the Scandia Senior strikes a balance between sculptural grace and refined ergonomic function. The elegantly bent rosewood slats mirror the shape of the human body, while a minimalist metal base provides stability without sacrificing lightness. These chairs have been expertly restored, repolished, and reupholstered by our team of skilled artisans to preserve their timeless authenticity and ready them for contemporary use. Museum Holdings & Accolades Hans Brattrud’s work—including the Scandia series—is represented in prominent national and international museum collections such as the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design in Norway and The National Gallery of Australia. The Scandia series has garnered numerous accolades: in 1967, the Scandia Stackable (Junior) chair was awarded the Gold Medal at the International Arts and Crafts Fair in Munich and the “Award for Design Excellence” by the Norwegian Design Council. Later, the Scandia Senior received the Interior Innovation Award, Cologne 2006 and was nominated for The Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany 2007. Listing Highlights • Designer: Hans Brattrud • Maker: Hove Møbler, Norway • Model: Scandia Senior (High-Back) • Date: 1958 • Materials: Rosewood, steel, upholstery • Condition: Fully restored, repolished, reupholstered Why These Chairs Stand Out • Complete set of six — exceptional rarity and visual impact • Sculptural, organic forms that blend comfort with aesthetic purity • Distinguished by museum collections and design awards • Recently featured in Architectural Digest within Sienna Miller...
