Elmar Moltke Nielsen & Knud Friis, Set of 6 Armchairs, Danish Modern, 1960s

About the Item

A striking set of six Danish Modern armchairs designed by Elmar Moltke Nielsen & Knud Friis in the 1960s. These sculptural chairs showcase solid pine frames with beautifully expressive wood grain, highlighting the natural character and craftsmanship typical of mid-century Scandinavian design. The bold, angular lines of the frame are softened by upholstered cushions in a richly textured black and off-white Savak wool, adding both comfort and visual depth. A rare and cohesive ensemble that perfectly captures the refined simplicity and organic elegance of the era, these chairs are ideal for a dining room, study, or statement seating area.
