Danish Teak Dining Chairs by Dyrlund, Denmark 1960s
About the Item
Dyrlund, a renowned Danish furniture manufacturer founded in 1960, was instrumental in shaping the mid-century modern movement with impeccable attention paid to detail and timeless design sensibilities. This set of eight model “7866” dining chairs reflect both the company’s ideals and the era's emphasis on clean lines, organic forms, and functionality.
Danish mid-century modern design is still celebrated for its minimalist yet functional approach, which values the use of natural materials and the marriage of form and function. Teak wood was particularly beloved by Danish designers for several reasons; its rich, golden hue, fine grain, and durability made it an ideal choice for furniture production. Moreover, teak's resistance to decay and pests ensured that pieces like these model 7866 chairs would remain in pristine condition for generations. There is something universally appealing about Danish furniture; its simplicity is often copied, but the vibe is difficult – if not impossible – to emulate. This is based on a unique medley of elements including solid wood, inspiration from historic and traditional styles and techniques, and of course, master craftsmanship. These chairs have a classic look with carefully crafted, where the frames are the subtle decorative features themselves, framing the upholstered bodies impeccably. The exposed backs are especially appealing, showcasing the rich texture of the fabric. When in close proximity to each other, this creates a stunning decorative element on the chairs. The backs flow down seamlessly to form the gently bent back legs, that are connected to the front legs by side stretchers that serve a dual purpose. They aid stability while also providing visual interest. While dining chairs are generally more utilitarian types of seating, this set of eight still manages to look cosy and warm thanks to the upholstered seats and backs. The textured fabric is not only elegant, it also accentuates the luxurious wood. The main decorative element however, remains the beauty of the wood with beautiful colour hues and grain.
This set showcases the quintessential Danish design principles: a harmonious blend of aesthetics and utility. With their sleek lines, the chairs embody the idea of form following function. These chairs not only stand as a testament to Dyrlund's legacy but also as an iconic representation of Danish mid-century modern design, where simplicity and quality are held in the highest regard, making them ideal for design enthusiasts.

Dyrlund
Proudly maintaining functionalist ideals and Scandinavian modernist sensibilities for more than six decades, Denmark’s Dyrlund furniture company declares itself a maker of the antiques of tomorrow. Its durable and appealing mid-century pieces are recognizable to collectors owing to the brand’s golden circle logo, embossed with the name Dyrlund, which is synonymous with quiet elegance and superior quality.
Working with ash, beech, oak and teak, Dyrlund’s furniture makers employ quality oil finishes by hand to protect and bring out the deep richness of the wood. The company outfits its sideboards and cupboards with sturdy, solid-wood oval handles — another signature that is likely familiar to enthusiasts of the manufacturer.
Established in 1960, the company set out to create long-lasting furniture that would remain beautiful and reliable throughout its life. Over the years, the brand's focus has mainly been on the manufacture of office furnishings. Dyrlund credenzas, desks and office cabinets — as well as living room items like sofas and coffee tables — are the most well-known pieces. However, Dyrlund occasionally produces limited runs of bedroom furniture, such as beds and nightstands.
Dyrlund boasts a clientele that includes celebrities, royalty and heads of state. One client the company is particularly proud of is Mikhail Gorbachev. The late Russian and Soviet politician posed for a photo standing in front of a Dyrlund desk.
The company still operates out of Copenhagen, headed by director Bent Møller Jørgensen, who is just as often seen on the shop floor going over details with cabinetmakers as he is in his office speaking to clients. Dyrlund’s commitment to quality and Danish modern forms hasn't wavered and is sure to continue into the future.
