About the Item

Chair designed in 1935 by Jens Ingwersen and Jørgen V. Jepsen for K.T.A.S. (Kjøbenhavns Telefon Aktieselskab), the Copenhagen Telephone Company. Executed in stained beech with original leather upholstery, the chair embodies the functional yet elegant aesthetic of Danish industrial design in the early 20th century. Its robust construction and clean lines reflect a design approach focused on durability, ergonomics, and modern simplicity, ideal for intensive use in a professional setting. What makes this piece particularly special is its original K.T.A.S. inventory label, still affixed to the frame. This rare detail firmly anchors the chair to its historical context, offering a direct connection to Denmark’s early telecommunications history. Furniture designed specifically for K.T.A.S. is seldom seen on the market today. Chairs like this one would have been used by operators and staff at the telephone exchange, making them important artifacts of both Danish design and the evolution of modern communication.
