Robert Wengler dining/lounge chairs

About the Item

These chairs were designed at the beginning of the 20th century by Robert Wengler. This set is most likely a really rare edition in ash wood from approximately the beginning of the 1940’s. Original flowered cushions included. During the war, Wengler did not have the opportunity to import bamboo and rattan from Asia. Therefore, Wengler began experimenting with hardwood, and the choice ended up being ash wood. With the help of the furniture factory, Fritz Hansen, Wengler had the wood bent into shape, which they then put together themselves. The ash wood is lakered and the chairs are in beautiful vintage condition.

Scandinavian Modern 1940s Rattan Lounge Chairs by Tove Kindt-Larsen at Wengler
By Robert Wengler, Tove & Edvard Kindt-Larsen
Located in Odense, DK
Set of early edition rattan lounge chairs designed by Tove Lindt-Larsen and made by Wengler, Copenhagen in the 1940s. Wonderful cushions with floral motifs. One chair retains original brass plaquette from Wengler, Copenhagen, Tove Kindt-Larsen (née Reddersen, 1906-1994) was one of the first female designers to emerge during Denmark’s ‘Golden Era’ in the mid-twentieth century. She is well-known for working with her husband, Edvard Kindt-Larsen (1901- 1982), but her own influence should not be underestimated. Her furniture was characterized by a fine sense of quality and a design language that responded to evolving tastes of the time. She was an early pioneer in rattan chairs and the use of molded plywood and well as moving away from designing room sets and instead conceiving individual pieces of furniture so that homeowners could curate their own spaces. An architect by training, with several years of furniture design under her belt, she embarked on a furniture design course at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, under the ‘godfather of Danish design’ Kaare Klint, where she met her husband. Edvard had already gained recognition for a grand-scale hotel project by the lakes of Copenhagen and, during their studies, the pair discovered their collaborative spirit and shared affinity for high-quality natural materials and complementary contrasts. They married in 1937 and established a joint design studio in 1945. Together, they broke the connection with Victorian furniture and designed everything from furniture to silverware, jewelry, rugs, textiles, wallpaper and even exhibitions and buildings, with a focus on functionalism throughout. Examples of their furniture include the Fireplace Chair (1939), the Pagoda Sofa...
