The system follows a clear, modular logic: reduced volumes, repeatable elements, and a constructive expression that makes the connection between function and serial production visible. The version shown here, with armrests and leather upholstery, is considerably rarer than the standard textile version and lends the design a heightened material presence.

The wooden frame articulates a precise interplay of verticals and horizontals; the proportions are deliberately restrained to allow space for the generous seat cushion and the tactile quality of the leather. The leather displays a mature patina that doesn't conceal the piece's age but rather expresses it as part of its history. This creates a calm, sophisticated character reminiscent of the atmospheric richness of classic Danish interiors.

Within the history of Scandinavian design, the Moduline system marks a transition: from handcrafted, individual pieces to modular furniture families with a high degree of typological discipline. This particular example clearly demonstrates the ambition not only to furnish modern lifestyles but also to structurally support them.

The chair is in good vintage condition: leather with a fine patina, wood with a carefully preserved surface. Stable and fully functional. A rare collector's item that impresses both aesthetically and historically – ideal for mid-century interiors, minimalist living spaces, and high-end lounge areas. This piece has an attribution mark,
