About the Item

This rare and exceptional pair of Danish modern lounge chairs, attributed to Viggo Boesen and produced by the distinguished cabinetmakers at Hos Wulff in Copenhagen during the 1930s, embodies the sculptural softness and organic elegance that defined Boesen’s contribution to early Danish modernism. His approach introduced inviting, fluid silhouettes that contrasted with the more rigid lines of functionalism, paving the way for a new human-centered design ethos. Restored with the utmost respect for historical authenticity, the chairs retain their original copper springs —an esteemed hallmark of superior upholstery craftsmanship from the period—ensuring both durability and luxurious comfort. Only organic padding materials are used like of the period. The frames and armrests have been delicately refinished, highlighting the warmth of the wood while preserving its original character and integrity. The chosen textiles elevate these pieces further, offering a striking two-tone handwoven wool fabric with subtle, beautiful irregularities that testify to its artisanal nature. Known under the name McNutt in Danish Art Weaving’s collection, this textile is among the finest handwoven wool fabrics in the world. Produced on traditional handlooms and operated manually by master weavers, McNutt textiles are eco-friendly and made from 100% semi-spun wool, ensuring both texture and longevity. Their design is deeply inspired by the dramatic landscapes of the west coast of Ireland—where the Atlantic Ocean, rugged cliffs, and wild heather infuse the fabric with a poetic, natural resonance. Together, these elements create a rare ensemble: chairs that are both rooted in the golden age of Danish cabinetmaking and enhanced with contemporary handwoven textiles of exceptional quality. They stand as a celebration of timeless design, artisanal craft, and the dialogue between Danish modernism and international textile traditions. We stay at your disposal for any further information. Thank you.
