About the Item

Early production of Hans Wegner. These chairs were produced by woodcarver Mikael Laursen in Aarhus between 1940-1965. He also made a rocking chair with the same design found in Wegner just one good chair by Christian Holmsted Olesen p. 109. Set of six "model 101" dining room chairs in a slightly rustic style, designed by Hans Wegner and made by Mikael Laursen. The chairs are made of oak and the seating has been reupholstered. Two of the chairs have beautiful and intricate engraved details. The oakwood has a particularly gorgeous grain to it. Rare and beautiful set of dining chairs made at Slagelse Møbelværk, Denmark in the early 1950s. The chairs are patinated solid oakwood and has been reupholstered. The the spindle back design is typical for the early Danish Modern movement of the 1940-1950s seen in chairs by Hans J. Wegner, Børge Mogensen & Ole Wanscher. Slagelse Møbelværk was an important furniture manufacturer and among the first to combine the traditional Danish cabinetmaker tradition with modern industrial serial production. They made furniture in collaboration with renown designers such as Eva & Nils Koppel, Viggo Boesen, Kurt Østervig and many others. Wegner was raised in the south of Denmark, where he served as an apprentice to a cabinetmaker as a child. Inspired to study architecture and design, he enrolled at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, then opened his own studio in 1943, working closely with peers like Arne Jacobsen, Erik Møller and more. He was a leading figure of the Scandinavian modernism movement, which championed quality craftsmanship, elegant design and efficient functionality. The Papa Bear chair was Wegner’s first project with manufacturer A.P. Stolen, which enjoyed numerous collaborations with the designer over his career. Originally produced with a solid beechwood frame, Wegner’s chair, with its high backrest, lengthy back legs and comfortable cotton-upholstered cushioning, was designed in 1951 and had its first manufacturing run from 1953 to 1969. Its current production is managed by Danish joinery workshop PP Møbler, and the chair and ottoman are now available in a variety of wood and textile finishes.

By Jacob Kjaer

Located in Uccle, BE

A set of 6 dining chairs designed by Jacob Kjaer and produced by cabinet maker Worts Mobelsnedkeri. Each frame is constructed in a beautiful Mahogany with original patinated Niger leather seat. Jacob Kjær (1896–1957) was a Danish furniture designer and cabinetmaker. Kjær received training as a cabinetmaker in the workshop of his father who was also a furniture maker. After completing his training in Berlin and Paris, he exhibited works at the Barcelona World Exhibition in 1929. Characterized by simplicity, his designs drew on the finest materials which, unusually for his day, he crafted himself. Inspired by classical English Style, his clean, graceful designs are modern in interpretation. He did much to enhance the reputation of the Danish furniture industry as president of the Cabinetmakers Guild from 1952 to 1957 and of the Arts and Crafts Committee for Exports from 1944 to 1957. One of his most notable works is the FN Chair...
