About the Item

Beautiful design and amazingly original condition chair. This unique, stylish and comfortable, midcentury modern saw chair designed by Ole Gjerløv-Knudsen in Denmark in 1958 is another one of our recent great finds. The birch wooden frame could not be in better condition and so is the original canvas seat / 'upholstery'. This chair consists of four parts sliding in each other and the seat angle can be changed by adjusting the parts more forward or backwards. The equally good condition rope is there to make sure this midcentury design piece is and stays well balanced through the years. This chair is characterized by a focus on simplicity, functionality, and craftsmanship, emphasizing clean lines and natural materials. This particular chair with the four wooden parts is as strong as the day it was made, for its age it is still in very good condition and it will look great in many a midcentury design interior. If you like the look and feel and the great style of this iconic Midcentury chair as much as we do, then you will love our price. Also, because perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary. Maximum height x width x depth: 32.3 x 28.3 x 34.6 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

Early Karin Mobring Model Cognac Leather Safari Lounge Chair Vintage Ikea, 1970s
Located in Lisse, NL
Beautiful design and amazing original condition chair. The design and the look and feel of this rare chair reminded me of what someone once taught me about good sculptures, "they look great from all angles". And what is particularly important for a chair, that it is very comfortable to sit in as well. Which it is. In this world people have very different thoughts about IKEA furniture and they are all right. Simply, because people all have different ideas about designs and quality and durabilty etc. The reality is that IKEA has never been bigger or more popular (worldwide) and especially some of the earlier design will be the antiques of the future. This rare, stylish and comfortable, midcentury modern chair from the early days of Swedish Ikea...

Easy Chair by Jørgen Høj and Poul Kjærholm for Thorald Madsen, Denmark 1952
By Jorgen Hoj, Thorald Madsens Snedkeri, Poul Kjærholm
Located in Utrecht, NL
Designed in 1952 by Jørgen Høj and Poul Kjærholm for Thorald Madsen Cabinetmakers, this easy chair in ash and flag halyard is a true modernist masterpiece. Removing everything that was not strictly necessary for its shape and function, the designers created a geometrical and transparent work, that is subdued, yet attention drawing at the same time. The work was presented at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild Exhibition at the Designmuseum Danmark in 1952, the only time Kjærholm participated in this event. Although the design was daring for its time, it was welcomed as a breath of fresh air at the exhibition. As a reviewer wrote at the time:? "The most ‘progressive’ interior… was no doubt the one made by architects Jørgen Høj and Poul Kjærholm in collaboration with Thorald Madsen. {…} One has to admit that it provided a refreshing change from the pervading solemnity. It is the duty of all exhibitions...
