The functionally and aesthetically perfectly balanced design of this masterpiece still impresses with its timelessness and elegance.

The model was initially introduced under the name Viking Chair. Jørgen Høvelskov was inspired by the sweeping curves of Viking ships. However, due to the shape and the ropes used, the association with a harp is almost inevitable. It is therefore not surprising that the sculptural chair was aptly dubbed the Harp Chair by a journalist after its launch, and has borne this name ever since.

The chair is in excellent condition; it has been cleaned, and the ash wood has been waxed. It bears the slightest signs of use, such as minimal scratches, which are, however, not noticeable. The ash wood, a very robust and hard wood, has withstood the test of time and use very well. The original covering is also in very good condition.
