An exceptional and fully authentic example of the rare Model 1518 lounge chair, designed and produced by Fritz Hansen in the 1940s. This piece retains its original sand beige mohair velvet upholstery, beautifully preserved with only minimal signs of patina. The fabric has been professionally cleaned using gentle chemical treatment, ensuring hygiene and freshness while fully preserving the original texture, tone, and natural sheen of the mohair.

The chair’s interior structure remains entirely original, featuring the manufacturer’s typical hand-tied steel springs and nailed jute webbing, all visible from the open underside and kept in perfect, functional condition. The original natural stuffing was retained and refreshed, providing excellent comfort and authenticity. The solid beechwood frame and block feet are in flawless condition, with tight joinery and no structural issues.

This rare 1940s Fritz Hansen lounge chair exemplifies the brand’s luxurious craftsmanship of the wartime period—handcrafted precision, subtle Scandinavian elegance, and timeless form. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
