Danish 1950s Lounge Chair Model Pragh with Ottoman by Madsen and Schubell

About the Item

One of the most sublime lounge chairs to come out the Danish midcentury era the model Pragh designed by Ib Madsen and Acton Schubell in the early 1950s for their own company Madsen and Schubell Madsen located just north of Copenhagen. A very sculptural and almost sensuous design. The scale is quite large and while it bears some resemblance to Phillip Arctander's Clam chairs the Model Pragh has a lot more size and heft and can actually match Wegner's Papa Bear chair in terms of size, sturdiness and comfort. The armrests are made from solid teak and the legs are from solid oak that have attained a nice teak colored patina over the years. Newly refurbished and reupholstered in nice gray and charcoal wool fabric. Overall excellent. Ottoman measures 13.75" D x 22.25" W x 15" H. We are able to reupholster this chair in any fabric including shearling at a very competitive price.

  • Pair of Danish 1940s Style Large Scale High Back Lounge Chairs with Ottomans
    By Fritz Hansen
    Located in Bridgeport, CT
    Pair of great large scale Danish club or lounge chairs of newer fabrication in the style of 1940's chairs but likely made around 2000. We found the chairs in Denmark and based on the looks they appeared to be 1940's but upon closer review we found them to be of much newer date. We liked the look and style very much and decided to offer them here. The chairs are superbly charming and similarly comfortable with a very strong presence to anchor any room. Raised on legs of oak. The chairs were made by Danish manufacturer, Hjort Knudsen...
