About the Item

Very solid Pair of Fully Restored and reupholstered 1930s Danish Cabinetmaker Lounge Chairs with contemporary Sacho/Kvadrat fabric designed by Vincent van Duysen and Anna Vilhelmine Ebbesen's . In the annals of mid-20th-century Danish design, these lounge chairs emerge as paragons of timeless sophistication, embodying the essence of Scandinavian craftsmanship and ingenuity. Crafted in the 1930s by skilled cabinet makers from solid beech, their form exudes a sense of refined elegance and enduring quality. Through a meticulous process of historical restoration, these chairs have been lovingly revived, honoring their rich heritage while embracing contemporary design innovations. Reupholstered with fabric from Sahco, through the esteemed Danish textile company Kvadrat, these chairs bear the hallmark of collaboration between two visionary designers, Vincent van Duysen and Anna Vilhelmine Ebbesen. The fabric, aptly named Moss, serves as a testament to the transformative power of artistic vision and material craftsmanship. Designed by van Duysen and Ebbesen, Moss intertwines twisted yarn and sumptuous chenille, creating a textured surface that captivates the eye with its illusion of fluid motion. This tactile masterpiece not only elevates the aesthetic allure of the chairs but also imbues them with a luxurious tactility, inviting tactile exploration and admiration. Restored to their former glory and comfort, these chairs retain their original kobber springs, ensuring a nod to authenticity and structural integrity. The restoration process, conducted with utmost care and utilizing exclusively natural materials, bestows upon these chairs a renewed vitality while preserving their intrinsic character and charm. In essence, these lounge chairs stand as living testaments to the enduring allure of Danish design heritage. Their seamless blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary sensibilities speaks to a legacy of innovation and refinement. Through their revitalization with Vincent van Duysen and Anna Vilhelmine Ebbesen's Moss fabric, these chairs invite us to embark on a sensory journey, where the touch of textured surfaces and the sight of timeless elegance converge in harmonious union.
