Danish Cabinetmaker Lounge Chair in Tibetan Sheepskin, Denmark 1950s

About the Item

This mid-century lounge chair revolves around high-quality materials, comfort, and the mastery of the era’s Danish cabinetmakers. The design is focused on the aesthetics of modernism whilst employing the exquisite technique and material familiarity of the highly skilled craftsmen. This chair in many ways transcends the word ‘modern’ thanks to its unique look. The flamboyant look is the result of the brilliant pairing of materials. The solid wood structure’s smooth lines stand out against the textural, organic Tibetan sheepskin while also accentuating the individuality of the upholstery. The soft fibres of the lightweight, feathery Tibetan sheepskin drape beautifully over this lounge chair, while the warm brown colour adds depth. The desire to keep functionality and comfort at the core of the design is visible, especially in the gently tilted back and the short, tapered legs. The armrests have a peculiar shape, with perfectly sculpted curves to accommodate the sitter. Their smooth surface is greatly elevated next to the sheepskin, complementing each other’s unique qualities. Serving the level of comfort even further is the elongated seat that is perfect for lounging and counterbalances the short legs. Dating from this period of unbridled creation, this exceptional chair upholstered in Tibetan sheepskin preserves the traditional ideals of Danish mid-century design, while also utilizing the new techniques of the 1950s. This chair is not only attention grabbing, it also preserves the value and beauty of master craftsmanship making it a timeless, unique addition to any space. ‎Condition: In good vintage condition.
