Known as the "Razorblade" chair for its distinctive, sharply carved back splats, this piece is a commanding throne of solid, patinated oak. The wood bears a deep, luminous amber hue, a testament to decades of careful preservation and a quality only achievable through time. Upholstered in resilient black leather, the seat provides a striking textural counterpoint to the organic, hewn forms of the oak framework.

An archetypal example of Kjærnulf’s iconic "Danish Baroque" style, this chair masterfully bridges raw, architectural solidity with ornate, historical reference. Its formidable presence is anchored by a completely solid, firm, and steady construction, with original screws intact beneath. Measuring 26.18 inches (66.5 cm) to the armrests, it is both a functional seat and a stylish work of art.

Ideal for elevating a modern, minimalist interior with contrast or complementing a curated mid-century collection, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a timeless piece of Nordic design history. A striking testament to unparalleled craftsmanship and audacious style. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
