About the Item

Set of twelve dining chairs, velvet, walnut, brass, Denmark, 1940s This large set of twelve dining chairs, made by a Danish cabinetmaker in the 1940s, presents a careful balance between functionality and understated elegance. Each chair is built on a solid walnut frame with clean, rectangular legs and crossbars connecting them low to the ground. The backrest is tall and straight, just slightly curved for comfort, with a crisp rectangular outline. The front edge of the seat is subtly curved, which breaks the strict lines just enough. The wooden framework of the chairs feature subtle, vertical and horizontal carvings of shallow fluted grooves, adding a quiet layer of refinement to the otherwise straightforward design. Brass studs are arranged in a precise, evenly spaced line that follows the outer edges of both the seat and the backrest. The design is a strong expression of Scandinavian Modernism – a style rooted in honesty of materials, clarity of form, and functional beauty.

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...
