Danish Pair of Easy Chairs circa 1950 in Stained Beech and New Lambswool

About the Item

Lovely elegant Danish easy style chairs probably made around 1950. These chairs are very early examples of the style that became the famous Danish easy chair of the 1950s and 1960s in the tradition of Arne Vodder and Hans Wegner. The wood from stained beech which indicates that they were made before teak became the wood of choice in Danish furniture making in the mid 1950s Very charming and versatile design with the armrests continuing into the front legs and despite the lightness of design still sturdy and strong. Very good condition as the wood has been lightly restored (cleaned and oiled) and we have reupholstered the chairs in an off-white 100% merino lambswool that maintains many of the attributes of shearling

  • Danish Cabinetmaker High-Back Chair with Stained Beech Arms, Denmark, 1950s
    Located in Utrecht, NL
    Throughout Scandinavia, there is a long history of pride in craftsmanship using natural materials like wood. This is especially true for Denmark, and this beautiful high-back chair is a great representation of the quality and craftsmanship of Danish master cabinetmakers. “Danish Modern” is a recognized term around the world standing for the characteristic style of Danish design created during the mid-20th century. Danish designers were often trained architects themselves, resulting in masterful structures as seen in this high-back chair’s frame. The gentle but crisp angles created from the stained beech are the main decorative elements, especially on the exposed arms that extend to form the front legs effortlessly. However, it is the partially upholstered arms that and robust back that set this model apart. The upholstery engages with the frame uniquely, accentuating the outlines and the beautiful stained beech as well. From the lightly curved “ears” to the lightly reclined back and the tapered legs, the design showcases the best characteristics of Mid-Century Modern design. In service of the “form follows function” ideal of the era, the design is completed by a thick seat cushion that overreach the seat, thus aiding the ultimate lounging experience. The beechwood’s smoothness paired with the soft upholstery’s rich colour and texture creates an elegant, stylish aesthetic. Looking at this chair, it becomes easy to understand the reason behind the major rise in popularity that Mid-Century Modern has been experiencing for decades now. The natural and unfading beauty of the wooden frames and the quality fabrics help to enhance the genius of the structure. With an outstanding design and craftsmanship, this Danish cabinetmaker chair...
