1950s Set of Six Erik Kirkegaard Reupholstered Dining Chairs in Rosewood

About the Item

Rare set of six dining rosewood chairs from the mid-1950s designed by Erik Kirkegaard and produced by Høng Møbelfabrik. The chairs feature a solid yet elegant design with the curved back- and armrest and the straight lined typical Erik Kirkegaard A framed legs that goes well as a set around a dining table in group or alone as side chairs, desk chairs or other places in the house. The chairs have been overlooked and refinished by our cabinetmaker and will be reupholstered with fabric of your choice from KVADRAT or for additional price with Leather from Sorensen Leather so you get chairs ready for use when they arrive at your door step. Designing in the Scandinavian modern style that took the design world by storm in the 1950s and 1960s, Kirkegaard’s designs were produced by the chair manufacturer Høng Stolefabrik, located on the Danish island of Zealand. The vast majority of vintage Kirkegaard pieces on the market are Høng productions. His dining chairs are constructed from dark-stained teak, typically with black leather seats, with a minimalist aesthetic. Kirkegaard’s No. 49 Chair (1956) features a single sculpted back rail and curved armrest that will remind Hans Wegner fans the world over of the infamous Round Chair (1949). Other distinctive features of Erik Kirkegaard’s designs include sculpted cow horn armrests, and angular A-frame legs. Although Kirkegaard also designed for Glostrup Møbelfabrik (though less prolifically), a manufacturer that produced a variety of tables, chairs and storage by designers such as Grete Jalk and Arne Vodder, it is unknown if Kirkegaard ventured beyond seating design. It is reasonable to assume he did not, given what is available on the market.
