Pair of 1930s Art Deco danish lounge chairs reupholstered in natural sheepskin.

About the Item

This solid, elegant pair of 1930s Danish lounge chairs represents the sophisticated influence of Art Deco on Danish cabinet-making during the early 20th century. Professionally restored and reupholstered in off-white natural sheepskin, these chairs embody both luxury and timeless craftsmanship, seamlessly merging the opulence of Art Deco with the enduring principles of Scandinavian design. The chairs' restoration includes not only the reupholstery but also a historic reconstruction using traditional methods. The original copper springs and authentic padding have been carefully preserved and restored, ensuring that the chairs retain their original comfort and structural integrity while offering a modern experience of luxury. The natural sheepskin upholstery adds a soft, tactile contrast to the robust frame, providing a plush seating experience while maintaining the simplicity and natural beauty central to Danish design aesthetics. The stained wooden armrests, featuring elegant Art Deco-inspired decoration, have undergone a delicate and authentic refinish. This careful restoration highlights the intricate wood detailing, while the rich stain enhances the wood’s natural grain, bringing out the depth and warmth of the material. The curved lines of the armrests, combined with the geometric Art Deco detailing, create a harmonious balance between form and function, showcasing the cabinet maker's mastery of both craft and artistic expression. The tapered legs, characteristic of Art Deco design, are gracefully elongated, adding a sense of height and lightness to the chairs' overall form. Their streamlined shape evokes the elegance and modernity that defined the Art Deco movement, while their proportioned structure ensures both stability and visual balance. At the base of the legs, the chairs feature patinated brass shoes, a subtle but luxurious detail that reflects the high-quality craftsmanship and adds a touch of metallic sophistication to the design. The patina on the brass shoes, along with the delicate refinishing of the wood, lends a historical authenticity to the pieces, emphasizing their vintage character while celebrating their careful restoration. The combination of natural materials—sheepskin, stained wood, brass, and copper springs—creates a richly textured, layered aesthetic that speaks to both the quality of the materials and the skill of the artisans who crafted and restored them. These lounge chairs not only represent the high standards of Danish cabinet makers in the 1930s but also illustrate how the Art Deco movement influenced Danish design in subtle, refined ways. The restrained use of decoration, coupled with the sleek, functional form, reflects the Danish approach to Art Deco—one that embraces elegance and luxury without compromising simplicity and craftsmanship.
