Kaare Klint for Rud Rasmussen, two sets of three dining chairs, 'The Red Chair', model 4751, original patinated leather, mahogany, brass, Denmark, designed 1933, manufactured 1930s.
These dining chairs in camel brown leather and mahogany, were designed in 1933 and made in the thirties. Referred to as the Red Chair, they were originally conceived for the lecture hall of the Danish Art and Design Museum. Gustav Falck, the director of the National Gallery of Denmark, possessed a collection of antique English chairs in the Chippendale style dating back to circa 1750-1760. In September, the museum borrowed the "finest" chair from Falck's collection, that Ole Wanscher would examine. This research served as inspiration, leading to the completion of the design and the final model by Rud. Rasmussens Snedkerier in November 1927. Furthermore, these chairs gained international acclaim when they were exhibited at the World Exposition in Barcelona, earning the prestigious grand prix medal in 1929. As a result of this recognition, they became known as the 'Barcelona Chair.' All six chairs are labeled for authenticity.
