Danish Set of Eight Sculptural Dining Chairs in Solid Elm and Red Upholstery

About the Item

Set of eight dining chairs, elm, wool, Denmark, 1960s  This ensemble of eight dining chairs in elm features an upholstered red seat in wool. One distinctive trait of this Danish set are the thick curved elm slats that make the back of this chair. The elm slats give these chairs a rustic aesthetic. The remainder of the frame is relatively slim, and the the slightly tapered legs also add to the elegance of these pieces. This Danish set has wonderful and rich patina and is both functional and sculptural. Please note that we advise reupholstery before use. This item contains threadbare upholstery with loose seams and small stains. Reupholstery can be done before shipping by our experienced craftspeople in our own in-house restoration atelier. With high attention for the original, they make sure every piece retains its value and is ready for the many years to come. We kindly ask you to contact our design experts for further information about the endless possibilities our restoration and upholstery atelier has to offer. Of course, a locally organized reupholstery is possible as well.

Knud Hansen for Søren Willadsen Set of Eight Danish Dining Chairs in Leather Elm
By Soren Willadsen Mobelfabrik
Located in Waalwijk, NL
Knud E. Hansen for Søren Willadsens Møbelfabrik, set of eight dining chairs, leather, elm, Denmark, 1952 A refined set of dining chairs, designed by Danish designer Knud E. Hansen and brought to life by the skilled hands at Søren Willadsens Møbelfabrik in Vejen, Denmark. These chairs exemplify timeless Danish design, but it is their history that truly sets them apart. Originally commissioned for the Danish ferry M/F Broen, built in 1952, they once served passengers on the important route between Seeland and Fyn – the main artery connecting Copenhagen with the rest of Denmark. Archival images even show this very chair in the royal private lounge, used during the reign of King Frederik IX. Søren Willadsen wasn’t just a craftsman – he had a rare talent for being exactly where Danish design was happening. With an exceptional eye for quality, he collaborated with some of the great names in mid-century furniture, including Finn Juhl, Jørgen and Nanna Ditzel and Illum Wikkelsø. While these designers are widely recognized, the fact that many of their iconic pieces were made in Willadsen’s workshop in Vejen is a lesser-known part of the story. The chairs exhibit a design that reflects the refinement of 18th-century English-style dining chairs...
