Harp Chair by Jørgen Høvelskov for Christensen & Larsen Møbelhandverk, 1968

About the Item

The Harp Chair, designed by Jørgen Høvelskov for Christensen & Larsen Møbelhandverk in 1968, is a striking example of sculptural seating from the Mid-Century era. This three-legged lounge chair is crafted from solid ash wood, lacquered in black for a sleek, modern look. The seat and backrest are woven with jute cords, creating a light and airy feel, while the flowing curves of the frame evoke the elegant lines of an ancient Viking ship, perfectly balancing form and function. Inspired by the design of a harp, the chair's distinctive shape and open webbing lend it a unique, artistic character. For enhanced comfort, it includes custom-made cushions covered in black sheepskin, along with a headrest filled with soft polyester fiber pellets. These thoughtful additions transform the chair into both an aesthetic statement and a cozy seat. The Harp Chair embodies the essence of Scandinavian Mid-Century design—focusing on simplicity, organic forms, and the seamless integration of new materials. Its combination of visual appeal and practicality makes it a standout piece in any modern interior.
