Crafted from dark oak with original upholstery by Nyrup Møbelfabrik, its unique silhouette draws inspiration from the sharp lines of a razorblade. Despite its compact size, the chair's impactful design transforms it into a sculptural presence within any room. The solid and firm structure, marked by bold Baroque influences and midcentury modernism, showcases Kjærnulf's commitment to functionality.

While the foam remains usable, a suggested upgrade of upholstery aligns the chair with modern interior styles. This piece not only provides comfort but also contributes a historical and narrative element, turning it into more than just furniture—it becomes a storyteller in the space it inhabits.
