About the Item

These exceptional lounge chairs, a rare find from the 1940s, represent a pinnacle of Danish craftsmanship and design. Crafted by a master cabinet maker, each chair is a testament to the meticulous artistry and dedication to authenticity that defined the mid-century Danish aesthetic. The lounge chairs are constructed from solid flamed birch, a material that not only showcases the natural beauty of the wood but also exudes warmth and sophistication. The flamed birch grain, reminiscent of the remarkable Axel Einar Hjorth sideboard "Birka," adds a layer of visual poetry, creating a cohesive narrative that ties these chairs to a specific moment in Danish design history. Elevating the chairs to a new level of luxury, they have been reupholstered with premium natural Gotland sheepskin by our professionals. The soft and sumptuous texture of the sheepskin enhances the tactile experience, inviting users to sink into a cocoon of comfort. This choice of upholstery not only aligns with contemporary standards of luxury but also pays homage to the timeless appeal of natural materials. The historical restoration of these lounge chairs is a meticulous process that preserves their authenticity. The original kobber springs, a hallmark of mid-century furniture construction, have been carefully retained. The use of only natural materials in the restoration ensures a harmonious blend of vintage charm and ecological mindfulness. A gentle refinish has been applied to the flamed birch, preserving its character while rejuvenating its appearance. The result is a pair of lounge chairs that not only exude historical significance but also stand as a testament to the enduring beauty of flamed birch. These lounge chairs are more than just pieces of furniture; they are a journey through time, a tangible connection to the mid-century Danish design ethos. With their solid flamed birch frames, premium Gotland sheepskin upholstery, and historical restoration, they offer an unparalleled blend of comfort, authenticity, and aesthetic refinement. As a collector or connoisseur of design, these lounge chairs invite you to experience the artistry and elegance of a bygone era in the present moment.
