These chairs are a rare blend of postmodern sculptural form and classic Danish modern influence, making them a standout addition to any dining space.

The frames are crafted from solid teak, built with the durability and weight that Skovby is known for. Their elongated triangular high backs lend a bold architectural presence, while the woven custom upholstery provides a playful, unexpected contrast with its traditional pattern in modern colors.

Beyond their striking look, these chairs are comfortable and supportive, perfectly balancing style and function.

Please note, these chairs do not have any labels or maker’s marks, they were likely removed or lost over time.

⚠️ Condition Transparency:

Upholstery shows rips, fraying, and staining throughout; one chair has a larger tear (see photos). Reupholstery is strongly recommended.

Each chair has a slight wobble in the backrest, likely due to lower screws that need tightening/resetting. A straightforward repair for a skilled DIYer or professional.

Frames are solid, heavy, and in excellent vintage condition with expected age wear such as scratches, dings, and some darkening on the legs.

All chairs have a loose bolt under the fabric on the backrest, which should be addressed when reupholstering.

With their oversized sculptural shield-like backs, architectural teak frames, and upholstery ready for a refresh, these 1960s Skovby dining chairs combine collectible Danish craftsmanship with bold postmodern personality. Once restored, they will be a showpiece in any dining room. See less
