Model "VP 37" Oak and Teak Lounge Chair by Georg Thams, Denmark 1950s
About the Item
During the 1950s, Danish designers led the way in furniture design, with Danish mid-century seating pieces to this day being some of the most iconic of their time.
This armchair embodies the characteristics and ethos of its period. Georg Thams designed this chair in line with his minimalistic, yet functional style for Danish manufacturer Vejen Polstermøbelfabrik, showcasing attention to detail through qualities such as the shape and mix of materials used in the construction. Oak and teak wood are amongst the most durable and naturally beautiful choices of material, making this armchair into a long-lasting and classically elegant piece. Originally, wingback chairs were designed to protect occupants from drafts and offer a touch of privacy, and have since become synonymous with comfort and timeless style. The traditional wingback design is reinterpreted in the mid-century fashion of this piece, moving from the classic rounded and closed structure to a more modern silhouette. The curved sides of the chair maintain their winged look, while the teak armrests feature an open construction. The high, curved back of this piece ensures comfort, transforming the chair into a statement piece of decor with additional subtle details such as the five tufted buttons placed horizontally on the backrest. The brown tones of the angled teak arms and tapered oak legs combine with the soft green coloured upholstery to give the piece a natural, earthy feel.
The quality materials of this armchair ensure durability, while the shape intertwines the traditional design with a quintessential Danish mid-century touch. The beauty of this piece is evident through both its form and function, making it a great addition to a modern interior.
