Ole Wanscher for John Stuart Walnut Midcentury Lounge Chair Reupholstered

About the Item

Gorgeous rare midcentury lounge chair, by Ole Wanscher for John Stuart; labeled on bottom of backrest. Walnut wood, newly reupholstered in blush tweed. Model FD-109, structurally sound and wood in good condition. Ole Wanscher (1903-1985) was integral to the core aesthetic and functionality of modern Danish design. He studied under Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and later worked at Klint’s design studio before becoming an independent furniture designer. Wanscher’s classic and contemporary designs made him popular. In 1958, the Danish newspaper 'Politiken' wrote: “Owning a Wanscher chair is an adventure every day, and will be so even several hundred years from now, for this is how long it lasts”. Today, his modern classics are still revered for their detail and his deep respect for materials and it shows with these particular arm chairs made for John Stuart. With meticulously sculpted arms, exquisite walnut woodgrains bent to the perfect shape, and subtle angles these chairs are the epitome of functional art. Measurements: Height: 30 in Width: 24.25 in Depth: 29 in Seat height: 16 in Armrest height: 24.25 in. We offer local delivery within NYC, see pricing below.

  • Grete Jalk by France & Son Lounge Chair in Solid Teak
    By Grete Jalk, France & Søn
    Located in San Diego, CA
    Grete Jalk lounge chair by France & Son Denmark. Made of solid teak. Extraordinary lines and impeccable construction. This chair is made with old-growth teak which was a rich patina on it. The chair has the more unusual danish spring back. About the designer: What would the reputation of Midcentury Danish furniture be without legendary female designer Grete Jalk? A Pioneer of Scandinavian modernism, Jalk sought to Craft furniture that was both cost-efficient and high in quality, each piece made for the evolving interiors and design sensibilities of the day. She continues to be celebrated for her sleek and minimal armchairs, lounge chairs, coffee tables and more. In 1954, Jalk opened her own design studio and began working with major Danish furniture manufacturers like Fritz Hansen and Glostrup Møbelfabrik. She found inspiration in plywood experiments carried out by Alvar Aalto and Ray and Charles Eames, and she quickly became known for her pared-back, expressive designs, which touted fluid forms and were made of alluring woods such as teak and rosewood. Jalk’s best-known work is the 1963 GJ chair...
