A beautiful set of eight “String” dining chairs designed by Niels Jørgen Haugesen for Tranekær Furniture, Denmark, in the late 1970s to 1980s. A defining example of modern Scandinavian minimalism, these chairs balance lightness, structure, and innovation in both material and form.
Each chair features a black-lacquered ash frame with a sculptural backrest made of tensioned nylon strings, creating a visually airy yet supportive construction. The seats are upholstered in black wool fabric, providing tactile comfort and subtle contrast to the sleek, architectural frame.
