About the Item

Exceptional and historically significant lounge chair designed by Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint (1853–1930), crafted in mahogany and featuring its original brass casters on the front legs. This piece was created for the Landsudstilling (National Exhibition) in Aarhus, 1909, a pivotal event showcasing Danish art, design, and craftsmanship at the dawn of the 20th century. Jensen-Klint, one of Denmark’s most important architects and designers, is best known as the visionary behind Grundtvig’s Church in Copenhagen. His furniture designs reflect the same architectural sensibility, emphasizing craftsmanship, structural clarity, and functional elegance. The chair’s design merges traditional Danish craftsmanship with a forward-looking approach that would later influence the next generation of Danish designers, including his son, Kaare Klint. The original casters remain intact, a rare survival that underscores the piece’s authenticity and provenance. Pieces directly linked to the Aarhus Landsudstilling are exceedingly rare and highly sought after by collectors of Danish design and museum-level works. This chair represents an important moment in the evolution of modern Danish furniture, bridging the late 19th-century tradition with the emerging modernist ideals of the 20th century.
