The chair was designed by Poul Hermann Poulsen (1947–1999) for the renowned Danish manufacturer Gængsø Møbler in the 1970s. Poulsen was not only a furniture designer but also an acclaimed ceramic artist and painter, a fact clearly discernible in this piece: the chair's frame is almost sculptural, a form crafted with architectural precision, blending brutalist characteristics with Scandinavian minimalism.

Designer: Poul Hermann Poulsen (Denmark) Manufacturer: Gængsø Møbler (Faarvang) Style: Mid-Century Modern / Brutalist Dimensions: • Height: 78 cm • Width: 48 cm • Depth: 46 cm • Seat Height: 45 cm

What truly makes this particular piece unique is its meticulous restoration. The seat and backrest have been reupholstered with premium-quality fabric from the Swiss Tisca factory. This choice not only guarantees comfort and durability but also perfectly complements the chair's original, distinctive appearance. The contrast between the dark stained wood and the light, textured fabric exudes a modern yet warm ambiance. In my personal opinion, this chair is made for those who are not content with the impersonality of mass-produced furniture. It possesses a reassuring stability and a kind of "raw" elegance that allows it to become a central element in any modern interior. It is not just a chair, but a story from Denmark, now awaiting its new chapter in Debrecen. See less
