(4) 'Frykat' Pine Dining Chairs by Nissen & Gehl, Circa 1970's

About the Item

Own a piece of Danish design history with this captivating set of four 'Fyrkat' dining chairs, crafted by renowned designers Soren Nissen & Ebbe Gehl. Designed in the mid-20th century, these chairs perfectly embody the hallmarks of Danish Modern – clean lines, expert craftsmanship, and a focus on functionality. Solid pine construction imbues the chairs with a sense of strength and natural beauty. The warm pine showcases a rich, honeyed patina that brings a touch of organic Scandinavian charm to your dining space. The key design element lies in the now-iconic "A-Frame" backrest, a signature detail of the Fyrkat model. This angled design not only creates a visually striking silhouette but also offers surprising comfort, with the backrest seamlessly integrating into the seat for a supportive and inviting dining experience. The clean lines extend to the tapered legs, which provide a sturdy base for the chairs while maintaining a sense of lightness and elegance. The absence of unnecessary ornamentation exemplifies the minimalist aesthetic so prevalent in Danish design. This focus on clean lines allows the natural beauty of the pine wood to take center stage.
