About the Item

The rise of Danish furniture is deeply rooted in the transformative shift in design philosophy during and post-World War II. Danish designers turned limitations into creative opportunities, creating lightweight, robust, and aesthetically pleasing furnishings. The construction of this mid-century lounge chair revolves around the use of 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 organically-shaped seat gives this chair a sculptural and striking appearance. The body is formed like a nest that hugs the sitter. The wide seat and low armrests are not separated, rather, they are united and create an open and welcoming look. The legs are quite simplistic, which is a great design choice that contrast with the voluptuousness of the upholstery, letting it stand out. One of the features that is echoed throughout the majority of Scandinavian furniture designs is stark contrast. Designers often choose to emphasize this by featuring bold colors alongside natural materials, which is highlighted in the material choice of this chair. The material choice of wood for the legs is very characteristic of the era. Thanks to its well-thought-out construction and proportions, the sitting comfort is also outstanding. This lounge chair is the perfect illustration of how the mixture of Danish craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and luxurious upholstery create exceptional pieces. ‎Condition: In good vintage condition.
